In almost every aspect of the game, both of these teams have been very mediocre. Between these two teams, there is one spot that stands out as an advantage. The Toronto Maple Leafs is 10th in the NFL in Power Play Percentage at 18.9 percent while being a really good Power Play team. They will have a solid shot at taking this game away from the Flames, if they are able to get Power Play opportunities. If the Flames hope to win, they will have to play a game without penalties. They will likely pay for their lack of discipline, if they allow the Maple Leafs to take the “man up” advantage.
With having one other tool, which could help the Maple Leafs in this game. A few years back the Leafs drafted a young goaltender, which looks like he is really starting to come on strong. James Reimer has gone 4-1 in those games as he has starting 5 games. By coming off of a 40 save performance, he has managed to allow just 1.92 goals per game to this point.
