Despite the loss, the last three games were some of the best efforts this team has put together. It started on Saturday night in their game against the Chicago Blackhawks and carried forward in the game against St. Louis Blues and a game against Columbus. Hopefully, they can take advantage of their long Game Games journey and make up some ground in the Eastern Conference.
Maple Leafs News:
The maple leaves suffered damage last month. However, it looks like we may be close to seeing some of them return soon. According to Craig Berube, Auston Matthews and Matthew Matthew made the trip with the group to Montreal and joined the group. However, they won’t be playing tonight. He said: “As it was yesterday. There is no change. They are there doing what is right, but finding tomorrow is doubtful.”
As for other injured players, Nicolas Roy is able to skate his but “maybe a ways to go.” Anthony Storalarz and Brandon Carlo haven’t been on the ice yet, but Beribe hopes Carlo will start skiing on Monday. Finally, Chris Tanev is still out “for a long time. In other news, Canadians called MAPL DUSHTA can make this game difficult to face who, if anyone, anyone, anyone, even if it’s their teammates, even if the Xhekaj brothers try to fight with anyone.
