Toronto Maple Leafs Game 34 preview time. Toronto heads into Nashville to face the Predators in what feels less like a “must-win” and more like a full-on do-or-die moment before Christmas. We break down the playoff math, why Auston Matthews and William Nylander need to drive the bus, why Matthew Knies, Easton Cowan and Nick Robertson are actually setting the standard, and how Dakota Joshua, Nicolas Roy and Bobby McMann can give this team a real identity line. Plus, we dig into the puzzling fourth line with Calle Jarnkrok, Scott Laughton and Matias Maccelli, a blue line featuring Morgan Rielly with Philippe Myers, and what it means to be without Chris Tanev and Brandon Carlo. We also hit the broken power play, Marc Savard’s future, and Joseph Woll going head-to-head with Juuse Saros before wrapping with our bet365 best bet of the night.

The Maple Leafs and Blackhawks go final in Game 32, and we’re breaking down everything that happened — from the impact of the Matthews–Nylander–Knies top line to how Toronto’s reworked middle six performed. We analyze Joseph Woll’s return, the state of the blue line with Morgan Rielly, Simon Benoit, Jake McCabe, Timothy Liljegren, and OEL, plus how Craig Berube deployed Easton Cowan, Max Domi, Dakota Joshua, Scott Laughton, Nick Robertson, and more.

We also look at how Chicago handled life without Connor Bedard, what Spencer Knight delivered in goal, and which depth players swung the momentum. As always, we revisit the numbers, the turning points, and how this game shapes Toronto’s next stretch.

Tonight’s Maple Leafs vs. Chicago Blackhawks (Game 32) preview dives deep into Toronto’s latest lineup changes, goaltending updates, defensive pairings, and what Craig Berube is trying to unlock across the roster. We break down the decision to load up Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Matthew Knies on L1, how John Tavares, Bobby McMann, Nick Robertson, Max Domi, Dakota Joshua, Nick Roy, Easton Cowan, Scott Laughton, and Steven Lorentz slot in, and why the bottom-six may determine this matchup.

On the back end, we evaluate Morgan Rielly, Simon Benoit, Jake McCabe, Timothy Liljegren, OEL (Oliver Ekman-Larsson), Henri Jokiharju, and the status of Chris Tanev as Toronto looks to stabilize defensively.

We also react to major Chicago news: Connor Bedard out with a shoulder injury, Kevin Korchinski scratched for being late, and Spencer Knight likely starting.

In goal, Joseph Woll returns for Toronto while Anthony Stolarz seeks a second medical opinion. The preview closes with odds, trends, and tonight’s best-bet segment (no spoilers).

Stay tuned after the game for Leafs Nation After Dark with special guest Nick Alberga.

Tonight’s massive matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers sets the stage for a packed Game 31 preview as Zack Phillips breaks down Toronto’s climbing position in a tight Eastern Conference race. We dive into the latest on Auston Matthews, William Nylander, John Tavares, Max Domi, and lineup uncertainty surrounding Nylander and Dakota Joshua, plus how Easton Cowan and Nick Robertson are impacting depth scoring. On the blue line, we examine why Oliver Ekman-Larsson has quietly become Toronto’s most reliable defenseman and how pairings with Morgan Rielly, Jake McCabe, and Troy Stecher stack up against Edmonton’s attack. With Tristan Jarry making his Oilers debut after the Stuart Skinner trade, and Dennis Hildeby continuing his strong run for Toronto, this preview sets up everything you need for Hockey Night in Canada — trends, matchups, lineup notes, injuries, and what to watch for — plus two best bets (revealed in the video).
