The Leafs will ice the same lineup as they did against the Rangers with one notable exception: Centre Nick Spaling will miss the game due to injury.

The 18-year-old fourth overall pick was named Player of the Game, playing on Team OHL’s top line with 2014 first rounder Michael Dal Colle and Kingston’s Spencer Watson and assisting on Watson’s game-winner in the second period. Colorado had been 25th in the National Hockey League with 3.00 goals allowed per game prior to the trip. More sleepwalking. Win streak over. Reimer got a break when two goals were disallowed, one for a kicking motion and the other for an offside play, but that was just part of his impressive night.
“I thought in the third we looked like a team that isn’t used to winning, so we got on our heels instead of on our toes and playing well”, Babcock said. “They came hard. But we just didn’t find a way”.
He stayed out for extra work after Toronto’s morning skate before hosting Colorado Tuesday and greeted a pack of waiting reporters afterwards by saying: “You guys realize I’m not playing tonight, right?”
CHICAGO (AP) – Patrick Kane scored and had an assist in Chicago’s quick three-goal outburst in the second period, and the Blackhawks beat the Calgary flames 4-1 Sunday night.
Bernier was shaky throughout the game, surrendering rebounds. Plus, they are not happy with their goaltending either. Jonathan Bernier made 26 saves. I still think the game is a little bit slower and zone to zone in the West with teams like the Kings, Wild, Jets, Blues, Ducks, and Predators. Goaltender James Reimer has started seven consecutive games, and again he was crucial to a victory.
A few weeks ago, the Flames were looking to move both Jonas Hiller and Karri Ramo.
Vancouver would get one back though in the second frame.
For all the troubles the Toronto Maple Leafs might’ve had in beating the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 Saturday night, coach Mike Babcock still took satisfaction beyond a season-best three-game winning streak.
Why not speculate into a trade involving the Flames and Leafs? “Like I said, take practice like it’s a game, that’s how you build your confidence”. James Van Riemsdyk scores his 6th of the season.

But one thing is for certain…I have had ENOUGH of Jonathan Bernier in a Maple Leaf uniform. Move him now while you still can.
