In the words of Frosty the Snowman, "Happy Birthday" Jacob Quillan. The Nova Scotia native will make his NHL debut tonight.The undrafted centre signed an entry level deal with Leafs in April, 2024. He turns 23 on groundhog day. In 7 games with the Marlies this season, he has 1 assist. Um, OK. I guess he showed a lot with the pass. I'm not ripping on the kid, I hope he lights it up tonight, just a little odd. Perhaps he's being showcased for a team that's TBA. Or getting some birthday NHL money in his birthday card.
Matt Murray will also be in the building in Ottawa tonight.Murray hasn't started for the Leafs since Dec 28.He's played against Ottawa once since being dealt, I'm guessing he got his video tribute that night in March 2023.
The Leafs are in Ottawa Saturday night for their provincial rivalry. Senators have lost two straight, shutout both times. They've been shutout 5 times in 2025. One of only 3 teams to be shutout multiple times in 2025 (ANA-3, VAN-2).Senators sit one point out of a Wild Card spot.
Toronto and Ottawa split two games in the nations capital last season.
Leafs are coming off a major let down versus Columbus on Wednesday
5-1 at home, outshooting the Blue Jackets 29-19.
Matthews (6) has scored in 5 straight games.He has 1 goal in his last 5 trips to Ottawa.
Leafs have won 6 of their last 7 road games, with 5 or more goals in 4 of the games.
The players in the big trade last night.
Rantanen back to back 100 point seasons, well on his way to that this year with 64 points in 49 games. His last 22 games, he's only gone without a point three times. He has 10 goals and 19 assists in that span. Hall 1 goal, 2 assists, last 8 games played. Necas on his way to his best NHL season of his career. Has 55 points in 49 games, his best season was 71 points.He's 2 points shy of 300 for his career.
