San Jose Sharks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs preview

The Toronto Maple Leafs head to SAP Center riding high after their 7-2 demolition of the Flyers, with the dynamic duo of John Tavares and William Nylander each putting up four-point performances.

While the Sharks might be at the bottom of the league standings, they've shown surprising bite lately, including a stunning shootout victory over these same Leafs earlier this month and an impressive win against the Bruins in their last outing.

Toronto's offense has been on fire, lighting the lamp at least four times in four of their last five games, though their defense has been a bit leaky - giving up multiple goals in 16 of their last 17 matches.

Joseph Woll gets the start between the pipes for the Leafs, looking to improve on his solid 24-13-0 record, while the Sharks counter with Alexandar Georgiev, who's coming off a confidence-boosting performance against Boston.

The absence of veteran Max Pacioretty from Toronto's lineup could open up opportunities for San Jose's young guns like William Eklund, who's been finding his groove lately.

The Leafs' previous visit to San Jose featured an uncharacteristic 22 giveaways - something coach Keefe has surely addressed in practice this week.

With Toronto battling Florida for the Atlantic Division's top spot, they can't afford another slip-up against the underdog Sharks, who've proven they can punch above their weight class when the stars align.
