Toronto had a couple days off after playing four games in four nights to open the season. The Maple Leafs won the first two, but then blew a 4-1 lead in a shootout loss to Montreal and then lost 3-2 to St. Louis. Tampa Bay won its opener before losing two in a row at Florida and Carolina and now is on the road again tonight. Andrei Vasilevskiy has a 3.06 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in three starts for the Lightning. Toronto goalie Frederik Andersen has fared better with a 2.37 GAA in four games. The Lightning appear to be falling into the same bad habits that got them eliminated in four games by the Columbus Blue Jackets in last season's playoffs. The Leafs have the hotter goalie right now and have home ice. Play the Maple Leafs.
