The Leafs are in a great spot tonight. They’ve had three full days to rest and reset after a solid win against Utah, and now they get the chance to keep the momentum rolling against Florida.

With fresh legs, Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and William Nylander should come out flying, setting the tone early and dictating the pace of play. Toronto’s transition game is very strong, and when they’re well-rested, their speed and puck movement become even more dangerous. Expect them to push the tempo, force Florida on their heels, and create high-quality scoring chances.

Florida has had a night off too after taking a loss in a nail bitter against the Boston Bruins, but they’re stepping into this one against a fully recharged Leafs team that’s ready to go. Toronto knows this is a great chance to build some momentum, and they’re not going to waste it.

The Leafs are fresh, hungry, and primed for a big performance. Look for them to take control and come away with another W!
