Preview: Penguins at Maple Leafs

PENGUINS (20-7-4) at MAPLE LEAFS (11-11-7)
7 p.m. ET; CBC, ROOT, NHL.TV

Penguins team scope

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Trevor Daley will not play and is week to week after sustaining an upper-body injury in a 1-0 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Friday. The Penguins are also without Kris Letang, who was placed on injured reserve on Saturday because of a lower-body injury. Friday was the second time this season the Penguins were shutout. "There were some (shots) that were very high quality and there were others that were perimeter," Sullivan said. "But I like the fact that we're looking to put the puck to the net and go to the net. Certainly, we're looking to get pucks to the net to try to create that next play opportunity. It would have been nice if we got to a few more of those but we certainly had our chances." The Penguins are 7-5-2 on the road, having won two straight away from home. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury will start in net.

Maple Leafs team scope

The Toronto Maple Leafs will play their fourth game of a five game homestand; They are 0-1-2 so far. In their first game against the Penguins this season on Nov. 12, Pittsburgh defeated Toronto 4-1. "I caught Sid (Crosby) stopping on defense, I caught Sid competing in his own zone, I caught Geno (Malkin) doing the same thing so I'm showing my guys them doing it right because that's how you win championships," coach Mike Babcock said. "You do things right and you do them over and over again and when the best players on your team have elite drive-train, everybody else falls in line. So when I watch their group, I like their group. I think they play well, I think they're organized, they've got a plan and their best players play." The Maple Leafs are 8-5-2 at Air Canada Centre. Goalie Frederik Andersen will make his third consecutive start in net.
