Opponent Notes:
- This is Toronto’s lone game in an 11-day span.

- The winless Leafs have gone seven games without a victory to start the season just once - in 1990-91, when it lost six games and tied one.

- The Maple Leafs have yet to score first in any game and have allowed 10 power-play goals in 24 chances.

- Former Islander goaltender Joey MacDonald is now the Leafs starting goalie due to injuries to Vesa Toskala and Jonas Gustavsson.
