Game Notes

DAL
?Oettinger (19-8-1, 2.43 GAA, .918 Sv%) will likely start for the Stars
?The Stars are currently in a very tight playoff race for the last few spots in the West. They're 9th in the conference right now but have an advantage in points percentage on a couple of teams ahead of them
?Dallas received some tough news last week as it was announced Miro Heiskanen is out indefinitely after he was diagnosed with mononucleosis

TOR
?Mrazek (10-6-0, 3.48 GAA, .884 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?It's entirely possible that Erik Kallgren makes his first NHL start instead of Mrazek gettting this game but no decisions about that have been made public yet
?Matthews will of course serve the first of his two-game suspension that came down from his cross-check on Dahlin against Buffalo
?With no practice on Monday it's unknown what the lines will look like without Matthews, so I'm just making some educated guesses in that regard
?Nick Robertson was technically assigned to the Marlies on Monday, but as of right now it seems likely that's just a paper transaction made for some reason

Injuries

?Braden Holtby - Lower Body - Questionable ?Andrej Sekera - Infection - Injured Reserve ?Miro Heiskanen - Mononucleosis - Injured Reserve​

Go Leafs! I had a dream they only allowed 3 goals!

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Go Leafs! I had a dream they only allowed 3 goals!

Man, dreams can be so crazy.

 

[Arn]

Go Leafs! I had a dream they only allowed 3 goals!

Kallgren first career start and shutout

 

[L K]

Go Leafs! I had a dream they only allowed 3 goals!

Man, dreams can be so crazy.

I would settle for a game where we just don't see goals going directly through the goaltender or pucks going in the net while our goaltender is talking up the fans in the 2nd row.

Rielly-Lyubuskin

I like that.  I also like that Simmonds is coming out of the lineup.  I don't love that it is for Kyle Clifford but the change is good.

I like that.

Imagine that pairing works, the Brodie-Holl pairing continues to provide reliable minutes against tough competition as they've done since they were put together, and then we have Jake Muzzin eased back into the line-up with the easiest minutes of his life alongside 3rd pair king Rasmus Sandin?

I like that.  I also like that Simmonds is coming out of the lineup.  I don't love that it is for Kyle Clifford but the change is good.

I'd really like to see one of the young centres on the Marlies get a look on the 4th line. Seney at least (he's not exactly "young") but he's produced all year and plays a needed position. Then Spezza can move to the less demanding spot on the RW, where he's also a bigger danger streaking down the line with his booming shot.

 

[Highlander]

I'd like to see Curtis Douglas get a game or two.  6'9" and 240lb.  Very hot on the Marlies right now.

AHL only deal. Leafs aren't going to use up a contract spot on him before they have all their intended deadline dealings sorted.

 

[Zee]

Please remove that sieve in your starting goal and replace with Kallgren.

 

[Bender]

Wonder if it makes sense to trade for Holtby.

 

[disco]

Would like to see Kallgren starting. I just have no confidence in Mrazek right now, 4 or more goals are just guaranteed. With one or two soft ones per game.

 

[bustaheims]

Wonder if it makes sense to trade for Holtby.

With Dallas in the playoff hunt and Khudobin done for the season, I don't think he's available beyond a significant overpay.

 

[disco]

Where is Joseph Woll? Is he available?

Fixed.​

Wonder if it makes sense to trade for Holtby.

Dallas's 1B/C goalie, Anton Khudobin just hit LTIR for hip surgery and is out for the season. With the Stars on the doorstep of a playoff position, they will be holding onto Holtby. The loss of Heiskenan to mono does not seem to have deterred their ambitions, especially with Robertson's line firing hot right now. Klingberg is reportedly off the market as well.

Edit: an addendum that is hilarious

Where is Joseph Woll? Is he available?

Woll was injured or sick for a while and missed some time.  He has played several games since his return but has let in a few here and there.  Kallgren has been super for the Marlies.  Hope he can handle the pressure. Supposedly he is a very composed fellow at all levels.  Let's hope so. Wonder how many own goals he can save?
