Going up against San Jose (19-42-9), currently in last place in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs (43-25-3) appear to be keeping it the same as the game prior, a 7-2 win against the Philadelphia Flyers.

The same lineup appears it will be rostered, according to the lines iced at Leafs morning skate.
