Game 5: Leafs Host Red Wings - Predictions

 Detroit won their last game via the shootout vs Boston.  With only one win in their first three games, the Red Wings will look to this home and home with The Leafs as an early turning point for them.  They need to get some momentum going. 

Record: 1-1-1

Leading Scorers (G-A-P): Nyquist 3-0-3, Franzen 0-3-3, Abdelkader 1-1-2

Toronto is riding a 2 game winning streak into the home and home with the Red Wings this weekend.  Toronto is looking to rebound form last year's free fall in the Eastern conference. The Leafs need to keep playing the way they were against NYR and COL.  They need to play a full 60 minutes each night if they want to have a chance at making the playoffs.

Record: 2-2-0

Leading Scorers (G-A-P): Bozak 3-3-6, Kessel 2-3-5, James van Riemsdyk 2-1-3

Jake Gardiner is back in the lineup.  James Reimer Makes his 3rd consecutive start.

Mike (0-4-1): 4-1 Leafs.  Phil The Thrill will get a pair and the second consecutive game winner!
Jeff (0-4-1): Leafs win this one for sure, 5-1.  Bozak is going to have a nice break-away goal and it will be Jake Gardiner with the game winner!
