Maple Leafs and Red Wings key players

John Tavares and Nicholas Robertson have been in good form so far as the attacking duo aims to compete for the starting positions on the Maple Leafs roster. With the return of Auston Matthews, the competition will become even tougher, especially considering Matthews' impressive performance last season.

Michael Brandsegg-Nygard has scored one goal and provided one assist in the preseason so far. With last season's top scorer for the Red Wings, Dylan Larkin, in his corner, the 18-year-old will have a good mentor to learn from and observe as he heads off on loan to Skellefteå AIK.
