Just awful. However, that was against the Buffalo Sabres. Tonight, the Maple Leafs play a playoff bound team and they are on top of their game against teams who are heading to the post-season. These two teams last met on February 28th and the Maple Leafs ran away with a 5-3 victory. --- #### Related [Maple Leafs win it in the third over the Capitals](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/maple-leafs-win-it-in-the-third-over-the-capitals/) --- **Them** The Capitals are the bottom Wild Card team in the Eastern Conference, but are basically guaranteed a playoff spot as they are 15 points ahead of the Long Island Islanders, and only three points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for the third seed in the Metro Division. They’re on a four game win streak, beating the Flyers, Bruins, Lightning, and Penguins, and have only lost once in April, 5-1 to the Minnesota Wild. They’re coming into Toronto fresh off a 9-2 blowout of the Philadelphia Flyers, so hopefully they scored so many goals on Tuesday that they have none left for tongiht. **Lines** Alexander Ovechkin - Evgeny Kuznetsov\* - Conor Sheary Marcus Johansson - Nicklas Backstrom - TJ Oshie Anthony Mantha - Lars Eller - Tom Wilson Johan Larsson - Nic Dowd - Garnet Hathaway Martin Fehervary - John Carlson Trevor van Riemsdyk - Nick Jensen Matt Irwin - Justin Schultz Ilya Samsonov Vitek Vanecek \*Kuznetsov is a game time decision. Injuries: Carl Hagelin, Joe Snively, Dmitri Orlov No former Leafs on the roster tonight. **Us** The Maple Leafs are great, we all know that. I say that every time. And, as I said above, they’re playing a quality opponent so the odds are we should get a quality game out of them. No big news out of practice today. **Lines** Michael Bunting - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner Ilya Mikheyev - John Tavares - Alexander Kerfoot William Nylander - David Kämpf - Pierre Engvall Kyle Clifford - Colin Blackwell - Wayne Simmonds Morgan Rielly - Ilya Lyubushkin TJ Brodie - Jake Muzzin Mark Giordano - Timothy Liljegren Jack Campbell Erik Källgren Injuries: Ondřej Kaše, Petr Mrázek, Rasmus Sandin **A table, with numbers!** ### Preview Stats | Toronto | Team | Tampa | | ----------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------------------- | | 3-3 | Series | 3-3 | | 23GF - 21GA - +2 | Goal Differential | 21GF - 23GA - -2 | | 16% - 11th | Power Play | 22.6% - 7th | | 77.4% - 10th | Penalty Kill | 84% - 6th | | Auston Matthews - 4 | Most Goals | Colton, Palat - 3 | | Mitch Marner - 5 | Most Assists | Nikita Kucherov - 6 | | Auston Matthews - 8 | Most Points | Nikita Kucherov - 8 | | Ilya Lyubushkin - 18 | Most PM | Jan Rutta - 17 | | TJ Brodie - 22:44 | TOI Leader | Victor Hedman - 25:45 | | Jack Campbell - .893sv% | Starting Goalie | Andrei Vasilevskiy - .885sv% | **Obligatory Gambling Section** Don’t do it out of spite for how annoying all the websites are.
