Toronto at Pittsburgh

Toronto continues to impress at fourth in the NHL in goals scored, sixth on the power play, plus #13 in goals allowed. Young superstar Auston Matthews is the real deal, with 26 points, including 13 goals. The Maple Leafs are loaded with speed and match up well with defending champion Pittsburgh, a team they beat two of three times a year ago. Toronto is rested with two full days off and it's only their second game in seven days. Pittsburgh played two nights ago and this is its third game in five nights. The Penguins have slipped from a year ago to #13 in goals scored, #24 in goals allowed, and #17 in penalty killing. Pittsburgh is 1-9 against starting goalies with a save percentage of 91.5 or higher, so back the talented young dog playing great. Play Toronto.
