## [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) (35-19-5) vs. [Penguins](https://www.pensburgh.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)(33-22-4)

## 7:00 pm ET

## TV: Sportsnet

## [Our game preview with lineups is here.](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-game-preview-penguins-phil-kessel-so-many-weiners/)

The Leafs are visiting the Penguins in what should be a pretty fun matchup. Two high octane offenses featuring the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel vs Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitch Marner. Neither team has the best of defenses, but make up for it with good goaltending. Should be lots of fun, and hopefully a Leafs win!

Oh hey, who just said something about not the best defenses? We could sure use Jake Gardiner back...

> Jake Gardiner (lower body) missed practice & his status for tomorrow's game in Pittsburgh is unclear

> Connor Carrick skated with Nikita Zaitsev today

> Matt Martin & Josh Leivo also practised as d-men; Babcock explains why here 👇 [https://t.co/bCVEajx0xZ](https://t.co/bCVEajx0xZ?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
