Moving on from the failure of the Red Wings to stick to a schedule, the Leafs have a chance to make up for what was their [worst game of the season](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/recap-maple-leafs-stage-a-comeback-but-cant-stick-the-landing-fall-3-2-to-detroit-red-wings/). Yeah, you were coming off a bye week, but wow. Tonight there’s no room for lazy play like we saw last night. The Penguins are coming to town with some new centres, and the drive that has seen them climb up from the bottom to near the top of their division. Just like the bye week was no excuse last night - both teams were playing their first game back - this being game two of a back to back can’t be used to explain away play as the Penguins hosted the Ottawa Senators last night. Here are your projected lines for tonight ### Maple Leafs #### Forward Lines Zach Hyman - John Tavares - Kasperi Kapanen Patrick Marleau - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner Connor Brown - Nazem Kadri - William Nylander Par Lindholm - Frederik Gauthier - Andreas Johnsson I don’t see forward changes coming tonight. One game isn’t the usual length of time the Leafs will go before changing things up. I would like to go back to Tavares - Marner, myself. **Defence Pairings** Jake Muzzin - Morgan Rielly Jake Gardiner - Nikita Zaitsev Travis Dermott - Ron Hainsey Maybe there will be some flipping of sides or a slight shuffle to the pairings, trying to find what Muzzin will be most comfortable with. #### Goaltenders Garret Sparks Frederik Andersen It’s game two of a back to back, so it’s a Sparks night. Prep your tweeting as needed. ### Pittsburgh Penguins #### Forward Lines Jake Guentzel - Sidney Crosby - Dominik Simon Bryan Rust - Nick Bjugstad - Phil Kessel Tanner Pearson - Jared McCann - Patric Hornqvist Garrett Wilson - Teddy Blueger - Matt Cullen Evgeni Malkin and Zach Aston-Reese are out for tonight’s game. #### Defence Pairings Brian Dumoulin - Kris Letang Olli Maatta - Juuso Riikola Marcus Petterson - Jack Johnson Nick Schultz sits out on the blue line tonight. #### Goaltenders Matt Murray Casey DeSmith --- ### Round one vs Boston Bruins | Toronto | Team | Boston | | --------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | 3-2 | Record | 2-3 | | 14GF - 14GA | Goal Differential | 14GF - 14GA | | 27.3% - 5th | Power Play | 35.7% - 2nd | | 64.3% - 15th | Penalty Kill | 72.7% - 12th | | Auston Matthews - 4 | Most Goals | Bergeron, Krejci, Pastrnak, Marchand, Coyle - 2 | | Morgan Rielly - 4 | Most Assists | Brad Marchand - 4 | | Auston Matthews - 5 | Most Points | Brad Marchand - 6 | | Nazem Kadri - 19 | Most PM | Charlie McAvoy - 6 | | Morgan Rielly - 24:34/G | TOI Leader | Charlie McAvoy - 16 | | Frederik Andersen - .925sv% | Starting Goalie | Tuukka Rask - .922sv% |
