Toronto is a .500 home team while talented and balanced St. Louis is 10-6-1 on the road. The Maple Leafs are #18 in the NHL in goals scored, #19 in goals allowed, and 16-35 against a team with a winning record. Goalie Jonathan Bernier is in net and is 1-4-2 at home with a 3.71 goals against average. He is also 2-5-0 with a 3.46 GAA in eight games against the Blues. St. Louis is ninth in the league in goals allowed, third in penalty killing, and eighth on the power play. The offense gets a boost with Patrik Berglund expected to make his season debut after being shelved by offseason shoulder surgery.
