Your tied for first Maple Leafs are in Nashville tonight. Toronto is 1-0-0 against the Predators this season, 3-2 win at home in December.
Leafs are 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against Nashville, 1-0-1 in Tennessee in that span.
I don't know if this is breaking news or not, but the Predators will not be participating in the post season this year. It will be the second time in the last 3 seasons, that they've missed the chase for Lord Stanleys Cup. Predators last won a playoff series in 2018.
Nashville is 0-3-1 in their last 4 games, with just 3 goals in that span, and two of those came on the power play.
Predators never got on track this season, they were 0-5-0 out of the gate, outscored 23-10. On Dec 10ththey were 7-16-6. Whereas the Leafs have spnt 67 days in first place this season, yes, there's that number again, 67.
Matthews has 9 goals in 13 career games against the Predators, including 4 goals in 4 games against Saros.
Toronto is 17-9-2 against the Western Conference this season.
Leafs are 15-5-0 in their last 20 road games, which is the best away record in the NHL in that span.
I will be back tomorrow to breakdown tonights game and look ahead to the Flyers in town on Tuesday.
