Toronto Maple Leafs Record: 3-8-5
Chicago Blackhawks Record: 10-5-2
Maple Leafs Record vs. Blackhawks Since 2005: 0-2-1-0
Maple Leafs Likely Goalie: Vesa Toskala
Blackhawks Likely Goalie: Cristobal Huet
Maple Leafs Top Scorer: Tomas Kaberle (2 goals, 20 points)
Blackhawks Top Scorer: Patrick Kane (5 goals, 17 points)
Injury Report: Chicago's Marian Hossa (shoulder) is still a couple weeks away. Dav Bolland (back surgery) is out for 3-4 months.
Once again, Toronto's blueline will get a boost as Mike Komisarek is out three weeks with a quad tear.
Preview Notes: Well the Blackhawks can go ahead and just put a W in the win/loss column as Vesa Toskala is in net tonight.
Toronto has been absolutely abysmal this season but has shown signs of life since Gustavsson and Kessel came back from injury. Luckily for the Leafs, Toskala and their awful D, this is the only game of the season against Original Six opponent Chicago.
Huet hasn't been strong himself and the 'Hawks have been struggling a bit but Cabbie Kane and the rest of the boys are incredibly dangerous and will most likely make this a very unpleasant night for Leafs Nation.
