First Screen Viewing
Leafs vs. Sharks – 9:30
Pretty big week in San Jose. The Sharks and Preds played an absolute barn-burner on Tuesday that saw the Sharks blow a 3-0 lead and then score two goals in 11 seconds in the 3rd to win it. And now another of the league’s glitterati show up at the door, this time the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sharks haven’t broken away from the pack yet in the Pacific, but after this tilt there’s a fair amount of trash on the schedule until Christmas. The Leafs have hummed along without Auston Matthews or William Nylander, but don’t want to lose touch with Tampa. Given how Martin Jones is playing, this one again should have goals. If you’ve got the day off tomorrow, stay up for this one.
Second Screen Viewing
Canadiens vs. Flames – 8pm
When the Flames start David Rittich, they’re good. When they start Mike Smith, they’re quite entertaining. The Habs continue to do it, though they did kick off this Western Canada swing by getting a foot in their ass from the Oilers. Still, any chance you get to see Mark Giordano play good teams is worth the time. It’s all out west tonight.
