Why it matters

The Toronto Maple Leafs have already clinched their spot in the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs and have a first-round matchup set against the Tampa Bay Lightning. This will be the Detroit Red Wings fourth straight matchup against a team that is currently holding or in the playoffs at the time of the game. The Red Wings over those recent three games are 2-1-0 and other than Friday night have played some really good hockey as of late.

The Maple Leafs have been a team the Red Wings have struggled against over the past two seasons. They have played a total of seven games entering tonight and are 1-6-0 and have been outscored 34 to 22 in those games. The Red Wings only win came in their last matchup against Toronto just a few months ago, so hopefully that has turned the luck in their favor.

Marco Kasper will make his NHL debut tonight for the Red Wings and he will Center a line with Andrew Copp and Lucas Raymond. The Starting Goalie for the Red Wings tonight has not been announced yet, it is most likely going to be Alex Nedeljkovic but there is a chance Ville Husso could return. Nedeljkovic has never beaten Toronto in his career appearing in four games going 0-3-0 and has stopped 94 of the 108 shots he has faced. Husso is the only option that has beaten Toronto going 2-1-0 in his career stopping 75 of 83 shots, one of those two wins came back in January.
