November has been a very good month for the Maple Leafs. Even without Auston Matthews and William Nylander, the Maple Leafs have been 9-4 for the month, including a 5-3 win over tonight’s opponent, the San Jose Sharks. On the other side of the game the Sharks are 6-5-2 so far in November with a healthy line up.
This is the final game of the three game home stand were the Leafs have gotten Ron Hextall fired after a 6-0 win and then defeated a heavily injured Bruins team 4-2. The Sharks road trip took them to Vegas for a 6-0 loss and then to Buffalo last night for a 3-2 overtime loss.
