Now they can finish the month with him in the lineup. - Author: Cathy Squires - Tags: Game Coverage, #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:15 ### San Jose Sharks at Toronto Maple Leafs **Time: 7:30PM** **Location: Scotiabank Arena** **Broadcast/Streaming: Sportsnet, TVA Sports, NBC Sports California, NHL.tv** **Opponent SBNation Site:** [**Fear the Fin**](http://fearthefin.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) November has been a very good month for the Maple Leafs. Even without Auston Matthews and William Nylander, the Maple Leafs have been 9-4 for the month, including a 5-3 win over tonight’s opponent, the San Jose Sharks. On the other side of the game the Sharks are 6-5-2 so far in November with a healthy line up. This is the final game of the three game home stand were the Leafs have gotten Ron Hextall fired after a 6-0 win and then defeated a heavily injured Bruins team 4-2\. The Sharks road trip took them to Vegas for a 6-0 loss and then to Buffalo last night for a 3-2 overtime loss. This is the final game of the month for both teams, who will end November on a winning note? ### Maple Leafs #### Forward Lines With Matthews back and Gauthier out, this will get sorted out somehow. Guy - Auston Matthews - Guy Zach Hyman - John Tavares - Mitchell Marner Patrick Marleau - Nazem Kadri - Kasperi Kapanen Andreas Johnsson - Par Lindholm - Connor Brown Josh Leivo - ??? - Tyler Ennis **Defence Pairings** Morgan Rielly - Ron Hainsey Jake Gardiner - Nikita Zaitsev Travis Dermott - Igor Ozhiganov Travis Dermott and Igor Ozhiganov scored their first goals of the season, so the ice is broken, the dam is leaking, look out! #### Goaltenders Frederik Andersen Garret Sparks It’s not game two of a back to back so it’s not a Garret Sparks game most likely. ### San Jose Sharks #### Forward Lines Evander Kane - Joe Pavelski - Joonas Donskoi Tomas Hertl - Logan Couture - Timo Meier Marcus Sorensen - Joe Thornton - Kevin Labanc Lukas Radil - Barclay Goodrow - Melker Karlsson The Sharks are at full strength and looking to get at least one win on this trip, so we could be in for a hard fought game. Or, we’re on the back half of a back to back with a three hour time difference for the Sharks players, we could be in for a sloggy, tired game. #### Defence Pairings Joakim Ryan - Brent Burns Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Justin Braun Brenden Dillon - Erik Karlsson The Sharks defence is a little wishy-washy. They’re letting teams score 4+ goals a game and then helping the goaltender get a shutout. Make up your minds people! Preferably, sticking to the first point. #### Goaltenders Aaron Dell Martin Jones The assumption is the back up on a back to back night, but that could just be Mike Babcock getting into my head. --- ### Leafs vs Bruins | Maple Leafs | Team | Bruins | | --------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------------- | | 20-8-0-1 | Record | 14-10-0-4 | | 106GF - 78GA - +28 | Goal Differential | 72GF - 72GA | | 26.7% - 6th | Power Play | 27% - 4th | | 80.3% - 15th | Penalty Kill | 77% - 24th | | John Tavares - 18 | Most Goals | David Pastrnak - 20 | | Mitch Marner - 34 | Most Assists | Krejci / Marchand / Bergeron - 17 | | Mitch Marner - 40 | Most Points | David Pastrnak - 32 | | Hyman / Kadri - 16 | Most PM | Brad Marchand - 72 | | Morgan Rielly - 22:18/G | TOI Leader | Torey Krug - 22:35 | | Frederik Andersen - .931sv% | Starting Goalie | Jaroslav Halak - .932sv% | The Maple Leafs are riding high on new goals and big wins. They have a chance tonight to have a perfect home stand to match their perfect California road trip, and hopefully they both have a big win against the Sharks, This morning’s skate was optional, so we have no line rushes to judge from. We’ll find out in warmups who goes where.
