Toronto Maple Leafs News & Notes:

Toronto will face St. Louis tonight on the heels of a modest two-game winning streak. In their last game, the Leafs dispatched the Seattle Kraken 4-1. William Nylander scored twice, and Joseph Woll made 24 saves in the victory.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

These two teams met on October 24 in Toronto with St. Louis gaining an impressive 5-1 win against former Head Coach Craig Berube. Berube returns to St. Louis and should get a warm reception from the crowd. The Maple Leafs will be looking to get some revenge on the ice, and even the season series at 1-1.

Players To Watch:

Toronto Maple Leafs

The “Core Four” are leading the way for the Maple Leafs. Mitch Marner (12), William Nylander (12), John Tavares (11), and Auston Matthews (10) all have ten points or more on the season, and Matthews hasn’t even hit his stride yet. Matthews’ shooting percentage is 9.8%, BUT the Arizona native has never finished a season with a shooting percentage under 12.2%. Matthews still leads the team in shots with 51, so be prepared for a hot streak coming soon.

St. Louis Blues 

In their last three games, the St. Louis Blues have scored four goals combined. The Blues are without all-star center Robert Thomas for 6 weeks after he fractured his ankle blocking a Neil Pionk shot against the Jets. The Blues need to find scoring in other places, and Jordan Kyrou needs to step up. Kyrou only has two goals on the season and is on pace for 15 goals, well off of his career high of 37 he scored last season.
