Game #30 - vs Toronto Maple Leafs

Game 30

Maple Leafs (10-12-4, 24 points) at Penguins (19-8-2, 40 points)

Why does it matter?
The Leafs are a tough match up for the Pens, due both to their history in Pittsburgh, as well as their recent play.

What has been happening lately?

• Pens - 13-1-1 in their past 15 games. Sid just keeps going at a clip of just over two points per game.
• Maple Leafs - They had a great third period rally against the Caps on Monday night.

Questions to be answered

• Will the Pens be ready? The Leafs won't quit, especially considering their rally on Monday and their victory over the Pens earlier this season.
• Can the Pens clean up the PK, which has been on the leaky side the past three games?
• Will Geno play?

Keys to the game

• The Leafs don't take many penalties, so dig in an earn the calls by keeping the legs going.
• Take advantage of the chances you do get with the man-advantage.
• Dictate the pace. The Leafs have been all over the board recently as far as shots taken / shots allowed. They seem to be susceptible to a strong team imposing their will (tell that to Washington, eh?)
