The Toronto Maple Leafs are a long way from home and playing their third road game of a brutal six-game trip. It's also their fifth road contest over the last six games. Toronto has been playing without Mitch Marner (sprained ankle), Alex Kerfoot (dental fractures) and Trevor Moore (shoulder). They've also lost six in a row while allowing 27 goals and just fired coach Mike Babcock. It won't help the new coach to be facing a dominant Arizona defense that is tops in the NHL in goals allowed (2.33 pg). Arizona has a winning record and has won four of five while allowing just eight goals. Toronto is 23-57 on the road against starting goalies with a 93% save percentage or better, while Arizona is 8-1 versus teams that score 2.85+ goals per contest. Play Arizona.
