The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost two in a row and it won’t get any easier for them when they open a 3-game West Coast stint in San Jose tonight. The Leafs have struggled miserably against the Sharks, going 1-12 in the last 13 meetings, and 1-5 in their last 6 at SAP Center. The Sharks are expected to have Martin Jones between the pipes and he is 29-15-6, with a GAA of 2.31, and a .915 SV%. Toronto should counter with Frederik Andersen, who is 24-13-12, with a GAA of 2.77, a .914 SV% and he’s 2-6-1 lifetime against San Jose. Toronto did bolster their offense by signing veteran center Brian Boyle but I don’t see that helping them tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
San Jose Sharks
