The Leafs have struggled early this season. They won their season opener against Detroit and have lost three straight since then. The silver lining tonight for the Leafs is that they're playing a much more defensive style on the road. In two road games, they've allowed just three goals total, compared to 11 in two home games.
The Leafs need to play that defensive style away from home, because they're a bit weak on the offense. They have just 8 goals through four games, including just two on the power play.
The Pens have their own issues, with Michel Therrien trying to get their attention early this season. After the bad loss to the Caps, HCMT called the team "immature" and labeled their performance as "unacceptable".
This is a team the Pens should beat, given their respective positions. The Leafs are rebuilding, while the Pens should be stepping up. Look for a solid performance tonight, or look for some extra pain for the Flightless Birds on Sunday.
Let's Go Pens!
