Defending champion Pittsburgh had to play last night in a 1-0 OT loss at home as a big favorite. This will be their third game in four nights. The Penguins picked up another injury on defense in the process. They are already without Kris Letang for about two weeks with a lower-body injury and lost defenseman Trevor Daley to an upper-body injury Friday. The Penguins are 1-9 following OT on the previous night. Toronto is ninth in the NHL in goals scored with very good specialty units. This is the fourth straight home contest for the Maple Leafs on a five-game homestand and they are working on a day of rest, making this a great situational spot for the home team. Take Toronto.
