Pittsburgh Penguins Notes:

The Penguins look for their second win of the season. The Penguins previously defeated the Maple Leafs 3-2 to kick off the season series in 2023-24 but struggled against them last year, losing two games in Toronto. With star players still seeking their first points, today’s game could be more of an offensive shootout.

Toronto Maple Leafs Notes:

The Leafs got off to a mixed start while opening the season on a two-game road trip. Toronto followed up a 1-0 season-opening shutout by the Canadiens in which the Maple Leafs peppered Montreal goalie Sam Montembeault with 48 shots, with a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils the next day.

Players To Watch:

Toronto – Woll (Lower Body – IR), Dewar (Shoulder – IR)
