Toronto Maple Leafs @ Vancouver Canucks Preview

The Toronto Maple Leafs (33-19-2) bring their three-game winning streak to Vancouver to face the Canucks (25-18-11). Toronto's offense, led by Mitch Marner and William Nylander, has been electric, combining for 49 goals and 77 assists this season. Rookie Matthew Knies has also been a standout, scoring in each of the last three games. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz returned from injury and has been solid in net.

On the other side, the Canucks have been bolstered by the return of goaltender Thatcher Demko, who has stopped 100 of 105 shots in his last two games. Vancouver's defense has been strong, allowing just one goal in their last two games. However, they are missing star defenseman Quinn Hughes, who has been sidelined with an injury. Hughes was instrumental in Vancouver's 3-0 win over Toronto on January 11, contributing a goal and an assist.

Both teams are in strong form, with Toronto looking to complete a perfect road trip and Vancouver aiming to maintain their wild card position in the Western Conference. This matchup promises to be a battle between Toronto's offensive firepower and Vancouver's defensive resilience.
