Toronto defenseman Jake Muzzin has missed the past four games due to a concussion.
Leafs Likely to Go With Campbell
Jack Campbell, Toronto’s #1 goalie, posted his 20th win of the season in his last start. He stopped the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 in a shootout.
https://twitter.com/LeafsAllDayy/status/1486533061034446849?s=20&t=EOlRQY06ksTgkgLoqkiPKQ
Campbell has allowed 21 goals in his last five starts.
Devils vs Leafs Projected Starting Goalies
| Team | Goalie | Record | SV% | GAA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leafs | Jack Campbell | 20-6-3 | .906 | 2.26 |
| Devils | Jon Gillies | 1-5-0 | .904 | 2.94 |
Journeyman veteran Jon Gillies has started the last five games for the Devils. Although he shows just one victory this season, Gillies is posting the lowest goals-against average (2.94) and save percentage (.904) among any of the six goalies employed by New Jersey this season.
Jon Gillies becoming a regular starting goalie is one of the oddest stories of the first half of this season. https://t.co/NDw4tg7A9x

Backup Akira Schmid is 0-3 as an NHLer with a 4.99 GAA and .824 save percentage.
Devils vs Leafs Pick & Prediction
