Maple Leafs vs Stars

Jonny Lazarus breaks down Thursday's NHL game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars.

It seems like nobody can slow the Maple Leafs down, as they have scored 47 goals in their last 10 games. Dallas has strong goaltending, but there’s just no way it will be able to put up as many goals as its opponent right now. Both teams have been playing some good hockey of late, but the Toronto offense is a force to be reckoned with at the moment. Jake Oettinger has been excellent for the Stars. He has only given up eight goals in his last three starts, going 2-0-1 in those games. The Stars have had a taste of their foes just once this season and the offense didn’t show up, as they were shut out in a 4-0 rout despite having 35 shots on goal. Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews have caught fire and are quite the dynamic duo.

The Dallas Stars continue their three-game home stand against the high-flying Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.

“One of them is going to have a hell of a year and miss as it sits today. “If you look at the three teams, one of them is going to miss,” Bowness said of the fact nine teams are basically battling for eight playoff spots. Sam also hosts his own podcast on Spotify, the “Slapshot Sammy’ podcast, breaking down action across the Stars, the NHL, and college hockey. The goaltending for Toronto has been hit or miss as both Jack Campbell and Petr Mrazek have had up and down seasons. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been one of the better teams throughout the 2021-22 season. I obviously want to be in the net as much as possible but I am just going along for the ride here and chipping in when I can.” “Guys are sacrificing in situations, shot blocks, putting your body on the line to get things done and it’s nice. Marian, I think that was the best game I’ve seen him skate with that confidence, taking pucks to the net, so it was great.” “We kind of greased it up by all three of us, and we were getting some good looks because of it. “I said it on day one, I am all in with these guys to go for it,” Wedgewood said. If I can help in 20 minutes or 60 minutes a couple of times throughout the rest of the season. Scott Wedgewood has been nothing but spectacular since being traded to Dallas from Arizona at the trade deadline.

We try to be mindful of what the schedule and the opponents are going to bring and how that might factor in, but generally speaking, no matter who is in of our seven, we think we have three pairs that we don’t hesitate to put in any situation. We thought it was really good in the short time they played together [last year]. They’ve played together a little this year and it wasn’t as good as last season, but it was very strong last season. These 12 games are going to go quickly, and we have to focus on our team and our game. He hasn’t scored, and that’s part of it — it starts to pile up and weigh on you a little bit. Sometimes, the actual playing of the game is not the hardest part as much as that may be hard to believe. With Anton Khudobin out for the season and Brayden Holtby out since early March with an injury, Jake Oettinger was carrying the bulk of the workload before Holtby’s injury, but amid a very busy stretch of five games in eight days, Wedgewood will start tonight. We don’t have a lot of time left, and Muzzin has just come back into our lineup. On Tuesday, Jake Muzzin returned to action with mixed results against the Panthers. He showed some flashes jumping up in the play offensively, even scoring a goal, and he threw his weight around on the boards by laying a few hits. Brodie will take his spot on the point, and Abruzzese will join the unit in Spezza’s absence. Matthews is on pace for 112 points in 77 games this season, which would have him finishing with the third-highest point total in a single season in Leafs’ history, only behind Darryl Sittler and Doug Gilmour. His three-assist outing against Florida moved him up to 95 points on the season, passing Mats Sundin, Vincent Damphousse, and Mitch Marner for the 10th best point total in a single season in Leafs’ history. After an eventful back-to-back in Tampa Bay and Florida that saw the Maple Leafs grab three of a possible four points despite blowing a 5-1 lead vs.
