Preview: Maple Leafs vs Stars


Verses: Dallas Stars

Toronto's Record: 1-7-1

Dallas's Record: 5-2-4

Toronto's Record vs. Dallas Since 2005: 0-3-0

Toronto's Likely Goalie: Jonas Gustavsson (1-2 GAA: 3.07)

Dallas's Likely Goalie: Marty Turco(3-5, GAA: 2.19)

Toronto's Top Scorer: Niklas Hagman (6)

Dallas's Top Scorer: Brenden Morrow (6)

Injury Report: Only injury really affecting Toronto is Vesa Toskala who is DTD with a knee injury, but seeing as how Gustavsson got the first win on the season, I'm sure no one cares much. Kessel is still nursing his shoulder for about another month. Tim Brent and Mike Van Ryn are also out

Jere Lehtinen, Mike Modano, and Matt Niskanen are all listed as DTD for Dallas, chances are we probably won't be seeing any of them play.

Preview Notes: This has the potential to be a close match up...how sad for Dallas. Leafs are sure to be all smiles coming into the game on a one win streak, and will look to increase that to a season best of two. As dirty as I feel saying this, Turco has been on a bit of a hot streak lately, so Toronto's shooters may have their work cut out for them (more so than usual). Dallas's resident bully Steve Ott will sit this game out after being suspended due to a cheap shot, big surprise there.
