Toronto Maple Leafs News

Tanev missed the last 11 games with a leg issue but will play Wednesday vs. the Rangers. Tanev will likely skate on the top pair with Alex Edler. He has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 53 games this season.

Murray allowed two goals on 41 shots in the Penguins win over the Bruins on Sunday. Murray has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.59 GAA, .953 SV% and one shutout in his last five starts. Tonight he makes his third start against the Capitals—he is 2-0-0 with a 3.46 GAA and .897 SV% in the first two meetings of the season.

With Mikko Koskinen sick, Stolarz will make his first start with the Oilers against the Maple Leafs. Stolarz was 4-3-3 with a 3.33 GAA and .902 SV% in 12 games with the Flyers earlier this season and 2-0-0 with 3.58 GAA and .901 SV% in five AHL games. He has shown the ability to stand on his head at times but is far too inconsistent to be relied upon tonight vs. a dangerous Toronto team.

Murray extended his winning streak to three games, stopping 93 of the 96 shots (.969 SV%) that he faced in the process.

McCabe’s season is likely over as the Sabres announced the defenseman will miss 5-6 weeks with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Toronto on Saturday. Matt Hunwick will be in the Sabres lineup on Monday with McCabe out. He finishes the year with 14 points (4G / 10A), a minus-7 rating, 59 shots and 35 PIMS in 55 games.
