Game 14 arrives as the Toronto Maple Leafs host the Utah Mammoth after one of the wildest Jekyll-and-Hyde performances of the season against Pittsburgh. Zack Phillips breaks down which version of this team shows up tonight at Scotiabank Arena, dives into the full projected lineup, and reacts to major news including William Nylander jumping onto the top line, Nic Robertson forcing his way into the top-six picture, and Scott Laughton making his long-awaited season debut. Zack also analyzes the third-line construction with Micelli, the fourth-line identity shift, defensive pairings staying intact, and why Anthony Stolarz gets the nod again. Plus: a blunt look at Toronto’s struggling power play, how Berube is managing minutes ahead of Joseph Woll’s return, and tonight’s Best Bet—a long-shot Scott Laughton anytime goal at +900. Presented by bet365.
