Toronto is home, but is a young rebuilding team at #18 in goals scored, and #19 in goals allowed. They still have a long way to go after losing the last two games by a combined 9-1. The Maple Leafs are without top scorer James van Riemsdyk for at least six weeks. Van Riemsdyk is also the team leader with 29 points, who is out with a fracture in his left foot. The Leafs lost the left wing during Saturday's 7-0 loss at San Jose. The Maple Leafs are 15-36 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game, plus 6-20 against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Columbus is in town and matches up well at 4-1 against Toronto and the road team is 8-3 when these teams clash. Play Columbus.
