Game Notes
TOR
?Andersen (20-10-1, 2.64 GAA, .923 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?No update on Kadri yet, but it seems unlikely that he'll play because of his upper-body injury that definitely isn't a concussion and nobody should ask Babcock about that because he'll be mean to them if they do
?In an attempt to avoid the dreaded "Vegas flu", Chris Johnson reported that the Leafs will be staying about 25 minutes away from the Vegas strip and arena. That'll do it.
VGK
?Fleury (7-1-1, 1.96 GAA, .938 Sv%) will likely start for the Golden Knights
?Just as we all predicted, Vegas currently holds the 2nd best record in the entire league. They also hold the best winning percentage at home going 15-2-1 at the T-Mobile Arena
?Former Leaf Brandon Leipsic finally scored his first goal of the season in Vegas' last game. That along with his 11 assists puts him 9th among Vegas forwards in scoring
?Jonathan Marchessault leads the team in scoring with 34 points in 33 games. He and Reilly Smith, who's 4th on the team in scoring and on pace for over 60 points, were both handed to Vegas by Florida. Man, those computers boys really fudged that one up eh... what's that? Dave "the fixer" Tallon was the one who orchestraded that move? Oh...
?Maybe the biggest surprise on a team full of surprises this season has been the play of 24-year old forward William Karlsson. He's on pace to score 38 goals and 66 points this season. His previous career highs there were 9 goals and 25 points. He probably won't shoot 23.3% forever but it'll be fun while it lasts. Karlsson was claimed in the expansion draft from Columbus (who also traded David Clarkson along with a 1st and 2nd rounder to Vegas).
