The Leafs have a record of 14-5-5 so far. The San Jose Sharks last played an away game on November 29 against the Montréal Canadiens. The Sharks won by a score of 4-0, and their current league record is 8-13-4. ### Them The Sharks sit at 13th in the messy Western Conference. The standings out there have a clear top, middle, and bottom, with the middle containing the bulk of the teams all sitting at 20-25 standings points. While the Sharks are in that group, not only do they have the fewest points at 20, they also have the most games played at 25, a legacy of their early start to the season playing two games in Europe before any other team played their first, something which the rest of the league has still not caught up to, so even at 13th place, they are still deceptively high in the standings. This is not a good team... but... well more on that in the Leafs segment below. Leafs fan favourite goalie James Reimer will not be appearing tonight as he was injured in a game over the weekend and placed on injured reserve. Kaapo Kähkönen played last night in the Sharks win against the Habs, so I assume their actual starter will be their other backup goalie, Aaron Dell, yes, the Sharks have been carrying around three goalies for some time. It’s weird. #### Lines Source: Last Game (11/27) via [Daily Faceoff](https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/san-jose-sharks/line-combinations/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Timo Meier - Tomas Hertl - Kevin Labanc Matthew Nieto - Logan Couture - Alexander Barabanov Noah Gregor - Nick Bonino - Luke Kunin Oskar Lindblom - Steven Lorentz - Jeffrey Viel Jaycob Megna - Erik Karlsson Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Matt Benning Nick Cicek - Radim Simek Aaron Dell Kaapo Kähkönen ### Us You may recall a few weeks ago during the last week of October, the Leafs went on their annual road trip to play out west, and it was an epic disaster of four losses in a row, including losing to the last-in-the-league Ducks, and a 4-3 loss to the Sharks in OT. It was an infamous string of games that made everyone panic about whether the Leafs were for real or not this season. They’ve since managed to quell those feeling among us with winning games, despite even a crisis with both goalies out injured, they still have a great record this season sitting at second place in the Atlantic Division, and third place in the whole Eastern Conference. Speaking of that goalie crisis, there are reports that Ilya Samsonov is not only back, but ready to play tonight. This is still developing as Leafs morning skate is happening right now. We will no more after noon. So if you’re a cynic, you should have this “easy win” game pencilled in for an epic loss, right. #### Lines Michael Bunting - Auston Matthews - William Nylander Calle Järnkrok - John Tavares - Mitch Marner Alex Kerfoot - Pontus Holmberg - Pierre Engvall Zach Aston-Reese - David Kämpf - Nick Robertson Mark Giordano - Justin Holl Rasmus Sandin - Timothy Liljegren Victor Mete - Mac Hollowell Ilya Samsonov Matt Murray ### The Game ### Toronto vs San Jose | Toronto | Stat | San Jose | | --------------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------- | | 68.8 - 6th | Points % - Ranking | 40.0 - 29th | | 3.042 - 18th | Goals/Game - Ranking | 3 - 21st | | 2.542 - 4th | Goals Against/Game - Ranking | 3.44 - 22nd | | 25.0 - 9th | Power Play% - Ranking | 19.7 - 23rd | | 79.2 - 17th | Penalty Kill% - Ranking | 91.2 - 1st | | 10 - 17th | Team Sh% - Ranking | 10.1 - 16th | | 0.912 - 7th | Team Sv% - Ranking | 0.887 - 28th | | William Nylander - 13 | Most Goals (NST) | Logan Couture - 13 | | Mitchell Marner - 28 | Most Points (NST) | Erik Karlsson - 32 | | Michael Bunting - 34 | Most PIM (NST) | Luke Kunin - 30 | | Morgan Rielly - 23 | TOI Leader (NST) | Erik Karlsson - 25.25 | > Conor Timmins staying out late at Leafs skate … his debut will have to wait [@TSN\_Edge](https://twitter.com/TSN%5FEdge?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) [November 30, 2022](https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1597983471745789954?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The Leafs will be back in their reverse retro jersey’s tonight, and we may see Conor Timmins make his Leafs debut wearing one of them, but reports from Leafs morning skate make is sound like that isn’t happening, and that Mac Hollowell will continue to play before being sent back to the Marlies, who don’t play again until Friday. But you never know for sure with Sheldon Keefe what the lines will be until they are posted a few minutes before the start of the game. --- #### Related [The long winding path of Conor Timmins to the Maple Leafs](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/the-long-winding-path-of-conor-timmins-to-the-maple-leafs/) --- While ex-Leaf Reimer won’t be playing, we will see ex-Leaf Alex Barabanov who has grown out his hair really long in the past year. I watched a Sharks game last weekend and completely didn’t recognise him until I finally saw the nameplate. ### Will the Sharks beat the Leafs like they did in California in October? | The Leafs will win this because it’s November, so it matters. | 108 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --- | | This game has epic revenge win in OT for the Leafs written into the plot. | 26 | | Samsonov being back in net makes me think it’s a win. | 38 | | Samsonov being back in net makes me think it’s a loss. | 15 | | I still believe in James Reimer. | 46 |
