The Maple Leafs, playing the second of a six-game road trip, are 0-4-1 in their past five games after winning their previous three. Goalie Frederik Andersen is expected to start.

Players to watch

Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews had his six-game point streak (11 points; three goals, eight assists) end in the loss to the Penguins.

Golden Knights center William Karlsson has seven points (four goals, three assists) during a three-game point streak.

They said it

"I think there's no question that we have to be better. We have to realize that the errors in the game are hurting us and if we don't want to fix those, then our results aren't going to change. We have an extremely talented group and we just have to continue to stay at it and work." -- Maple Leafs center John Tavares

"Obviously we had a lot of positives in the last game, but it's in the past. We need to move on and just focus on tonight. A team like Toronto, you definitely need to manage the puck well because their top players can make you pay." -- Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault
