First meeting of the season between the teams, Carolina was 3-0-0 vs Toronto last season and have won four straight against the Leafs overall.

Canes 15-5-0 at home, best home PTS% in the east. However they are 8-10-1 in their past 19 games overall, shutout 3 times.

Carolina is tied with the good Jets team in sports for the longest win streak on the season at 8 games, both of those happened early in the season. Leafs along with Dallas and Detroit are tied for the longest active win streaks at 5 games. What's impressive about the win streak, there were two sets of home and home games, tough to sweep those. Like a baseball doubleheader.
Former Leafs legendary netminder Frederik Andersen who sits on 499 Games Played has been out with a knee injury since the end of October.

Knies had 7 points in 18 games from Nov 20 to Jan 2. He has 7 points in his last 3 games played.
Matthews (298) centimetres closer to the 300 assist mark. He has points in his last 7 games played (4G, 7A). He has a 6 game point streak in Carolina (3G, 4A)
Woll on the season on the road 6-3-0, 2.56GAA, .915SV%. He's only ever had 1 career start in Carolina. 

We have the 15th edition of Crosby vs McDavid tonight:
Oilers with 7 straight wins against Penguins
In the previous 14, the Oilers are 8-3-3. McDavid has 27 points (9G, 18A)  Crosby has 7 points (3G, 4A).
