Game Notes

TOR
?Andersen (15-8-3, 2.54 GAA, .918 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
?Keefe confirmed that the original plan was to give Hutch the start against Calgary, but said that given the schedule and Freddy's performance in Vancouver he decided to give him all the starts on the road trip
?Moore skated on the 4th line at practice on Friday and appears ready to return to the line-up. He's just waiting for medical confirmation on Saturday
?Nylander and Kapanen flipped wings at practice, so Willy will get a try on the left side

EDM
?Koskinen (11-4-2, 2.72 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Oilers
?Edmonton has used their goalies very evenly this season with both of them starting 17 games at this point. Koskinen has had the edge though as his stats are a little better than Smiths's (7-8-2, 3.08 GAA, .896 Sv%)
?McDavid and Draisaitl will likely play on the same line against the Leafs after being split up for the past few games. They are 1-2 in scoring right now with McDavid leading the league at 57 points and Draisaitl at 55

Injuries

?Andreas Johnsson - Leg - Injured Reserve

You know what I like about Keefe, if something doesn't work he changes it. Kapanen is not a LW at all, a nice little RW for sure.  Keefe says let's try something new, while Babcock would have been chiseling some notes onto his napkin, Keefe takes action.  Nice move....Now let's put Engvall on that LW and put Kapi back on the RW with Kerfoot.

Sure Matthews is happy about that. Wasn't there something about not wanting Kappy on his line?
no I think that is something about not wanting to dine at the same table as him.
 
I wanna see these lines.

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Engvall-Matthews-Nylander
Mikey-Keeerfoot-Kapiberra   
Timashov-Spezza/Goat-Moore

Don't want any more Pecans/Aburgs/Shores (oh he is gone).  Trade Johnsson and Ceci for Jarry or Gregor Cosmonautin

Yeah, but maybe that was another one of those rankings that Babcock asked for.

Yes!
 
It would have been ultracool for them to have swept the road trip but 3-1 would be pretty nice too.
 
I tell you, if I were an Oilers fan I would be watching every single game to savor McDavid.  Most fans go their whole lives without watching the best player in the world at the moment on their team.
 
When McDavid was a kid he got bitten by a goat up in Newmarket and he's been deathly afraid of goats ever since, hence the goat drawing into the lineup
 
Next two games are most wins.  Absolutely cannot lose tonight.  Hope they play with that necessary urgency.
 
I don't get this league with some of the stupid crap they call but play is over and Kassian comes in and takes a shot at Holl and nothing.
