Toronto Maple Leafs game preview
The Maple Leafs came into the regular season off the back of four straight wins but struggled to continue at that level in the season opener against the Montreal Canadiens.
The Maple Leafs lost the opening game by a score of 1-0, but with the amount of injuries on the roster, the start of the season was always going to be an uphill task.
Toronto Maple Leafs injuries
Connor Dewar, Dakota Mermis, Jani Hakanpaa, Calle Jarnkrok and Fraser Minten are all currently sidelined for the Maple Leafs with majority of these players facing a long-term absence from the roster.
New Jersey Devils game preview
The Devils started the season on the right foot with two back-to-back wins against the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL Global Series Czechia. The team scored seven goals in two games and conceded only two and will be hoping to continue this success against the Leafs.

Maple Leafs vs Devils key players
The preseason's top scorer Nicholas Robertson is back for the Maple Leafs as the winger scored five goals across the four preseason games. With the addition of Robertson and the existing talent in Mitch Marner, Auston Matthews and William Nylander, it is a matter of time before the Maple Leafs start to click together.
Paul Cotter has taken the lead for the Devils so far, with the center scoring two goals and providing one assist in the first two games of the season. Now that the regular season has started, the forward will be hopeful to continue to play to this level.
