With a 31-12-8 overall record and 70 points, the Maple Leafs currently sit 11 points behind the Bruins in the standings. Despite missing superstar skater Austin Matthews for three weeks due to a sprained knee, Toronto managed to secure a big 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals in their most recent home game.
Behind the strong play of RW William Nylander, who leads the team with 28 goals and 59 points, and RW Mitchell Marner, who tops the club in assists with 41, the Maple Leafs will look to overcome their injury concerns and continue their home success against Boston. There is no doubt that the Leafs are clearly the better team with Matthews on the roster, but so far this season there isn’t anyone in the lineup putting the puck in the net like William Nylander is right now. Nylander leads the Maple Leafs in goals this season with 28 in only 51 games played and is not only on pace to score 50 but he’s also on pace to have the best season of his NHL career so far.
