In their quest for redemption, the Maple Leafs will rely on their top performers from the previous three games. One player who has consistently stood out is Jesper Bratt of the New Jersey Devils.

While Bratt has been exceptional for the Devils, the Maple Leafs have their own standout players who are ready to make an impact in this crucial matchup.

In the past three games, Matthews has tallied 3 goals and 2 assists, contributing significantly to his team's scoring efforts.

Another player to watch out for is Mark Giordano, a defenseman known for his defensive prowess and leadership skills. Giordano has displayed his versatility by contributing offensively as well, recording 1 goal and 1 assist in the last three games.


The average player statistics over the past three games reflect a strong performance by both teams. The Toronto Maple Leafs have scored an average of 3 goals per game while allowing an average of only 1 goal against. On the other hand, the New Jersey Devils have scored an average of 2 goals per game and allowed an average of 1.67 goals against.
