Overall, the Maple Leafs are on a huge roll as they have won 10 of their last 12 games and continue to be one of the most feared teams in the entire NHL.
Although they have had their fair share of playoff failures, Craig Berube's new defensive-minded system has fans believing that this could be the team's year.
Moreover, both goaltenders are playing extremely well, which bodes well for this team once the playoffs arrive in April.
However, tonight, the Maple Leafs are focused on the Washington Capitals, a team that has been rolling ever since the season started two months ago.
Earlier, it was reported that Anthony Stolarz would be getting the start over Joseph Woll.
As for the entire lineup, some big moves were announced this morning, and fans will enjoy them.
For instance, Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies are back on a line with Mitch Marner.
Meanwhile, Pontus Holmberg will be on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander. The odd man out on offense is Alex Nylander.
This is going to be a fun game for the Maple Leafs, and if they win, then an argument can be made that they are one of the best teams in the East.
