The Maple Leafs are in stop-the-pain mode with two straight losses and draw the Sharks at home in a good spot. Toronto lost 4-3 at home on a penalty shot in overtime to Columbus and then fell to the Bruins, 4-2, on the road this past Tuesday. 
So Toronto will be rested and ready for this matchup.
San Jose defeated Montreal, 4-2, last night. This marks the Sharks' third road game in four days. 
The Maple Leafs went 2-0 versus San Jose last season winning each of those games by two goals.
