DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Las Vegas Golden Knights You couldn't find a worse scheduling spot of the Toronto Maple Leafs who basically are playing their third game in 3 1/2 days. The Leafs won 7-4 in Arizona on Thursday, were beat 4-3 in OT at Colorado on Friday, off on Saturday in Las Vegas (yeah right), and back for 12;30 PM matinee vs. a team that is 15-2-1 at home and off since Thursday night. Leafs won 4-3 North of the Border vs. VGK fourth netminder so some aspect of revenge even in play. Line is somewhat puzzling but EVERYONE is waiting for the shoe to drop on VGK. Not here.

In fact, the Leafs have scored a whopping 22 goals in their first four games. They've also allowed 16 goals in their 3-1 start but that is going to happen when teams as playing catch up.

The 3-1 Wings won last night at Arizona and despite the spot on face is not very favorable, teams playing the second of B2B nights on the road have an ungodly winning percentage over the last five year. The reality is that Vegas has no power play and is not real explosive but is solid defensively and in goal. In the end, that translates out to a 2-1, 3-2, 3-1 type of Red Wing win.
