Game Notes |
| COL -MacKenzie Blackwood (24-16-6, 2.50 GAA, .915 Sv%) will likely start for the Avalanche -Colorado is 8-0-1 in their last 9 games, most of which came post trade deadline where the Avs picked up players like Nelson, Coyle, and Lindgren. That of course includes a 7-4 win over the Leafs 1.5 weeks ago -Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog, who due to a serious knee injury hasn't played a NHL game since Colorado won the Cup on June 26th 2022, won't be in the line-up of course but is expected to be travelling with the team as he continues to work toward a comeback |
| TOR -Joseph Woll (23-12-0, 2.75 GAA, .905 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs |
