What makes this matchup particularly juicy is the battle between two of the league's most dynamic defensemen: Colorado's Cale Makar, who's having a monster year with 78 points, going head-to-head against Morgan Rielly's quarterback-style play from Toronto's blue line.

Both teams' netminders have been standing on their heads lately - Blackwood's been a wall for Colorado with a .919 save percentage, while Stolarz has matched that intensity for the Leafs, sporting similar numbers.

The special teams battle could be the difference-maker tonight, with Toronto's power play clicking at an impressive 25% while Colorado isn't far behind at 23%.
