The Maple Leafs have a pretty impressive record until you look at how they have gotten to this point of the season. They got out of the gate quickly at 9-4, but have stumbled now for quite some time at two games under .500 through their last 14. The problem is easy to expose as after starting out in their first 13 games allowing 39 goals they have subsequently allowed 55 in their last 14, or just about 4 per contest. The Devils are on a four-game game skid, but they have an opportunity to get healthy here vs. the suddenly defenseless Maple Leafs, who are in a bad spot at 16-37 in their last 53 when playing for the third time in four days. Play on New Jersey in this one.
