COL
?Alexandar Georgiev (29-14-5, 2.65 GAA, .917 Sv%) will likely start for the Avalanche
?A recent injury to Artturi Lehkonen has given 2 former Leafs bigger opportunities: Malgin, who has 3 goals in his last 5 games, will take his place on Colorado's 2nd line while Galchenyuk, who has 33 points in 33 games in the AHL, has been called up

TOR
?Ilya Samsonov (23-8-2, 2.41 GAA, .915 Sv%) will likely start for the Maple Leafs
?No practice for the Leafs on Tuesday, so any line-up changes are up in the air. Schenn was expected to return to Toronto on Monday so there's a chance he could be back in the line-up

Georgiev looks like he's having decent season replacing Kuemper.

24 minutes against Colorado aren't going to get it done.  I hope they put in a better effort tonight.  It's crazy to me that Colorado has 80 points with all the injuries they have dealt with this year.

Aye what's stopping us from 10-8, or better yet, 9-9

I'd love to see them do a 10-8 and rotate the D-men evenly.

Bad vibes about this one. All depends which Jekyll & Hyde team shows up.

The Leafs play to the level of their opponents. Colorado is good, so the Leafs should be good.

I'm very much down for a repeat of our last performance against them.

Stuff Toronto media would never bother to analyze and say

 

[herman]

Mo!

Didn?t miss that one!

 

[Arn]

Marner assisting with other guys sticks now

 

[lamajama]

He heard me yelling ?SHOOT?.

You?re welcome.

 

[Guilt Trip]

And Rielly makes a very nice Defensive play right after..

Bless you

 

[herman]

Gio is a beast for that block, but that was a very scary choice to make

 

[Arn]

Matthews looks sharp

Matthews looks sharp

Jarnkrok looks like a good fit for them

So far looks good. I don't like Kerfoot with them.

 

[herman]

Willy breaking ankles without the puck?!

 

[herman]

A relatively weak call after Acciari gets pitchforked to the ice without batting an eye.
