The Toronto Maple Leafs begin their west coast road trip with Game 74 against the St. Louis Blues, and there are plenty of storylines heading into this matchup. Joseph Woll returns to his hometown of St. Louis as the projected starter for Toronto opposite Jordan Binnington for the Blues. Up front, the spotlight continues to grow around rookie Easton Cowan, who is getting major opportunities alongside John Tavares and William Nylander while also seeing time on the top power play unit. The show also breaks down the rest of the Leafs lineup, including Matthew Knies, Max Domi, and Nick Robertson, along with the blue line featuring Morgan Rielly, Brandon Carlo, and Jake McCabe.
Beyond the lineup discussion, we dive into the development of Cowan’s game, what his late-season opportunities could mean for the future, and how the Leafs approach the final stretch of the season.
Plus, we deliver tonight’s best bets, including anytime goal picks for Matthew Knies and Easton Cowan, as Toronto looks to battle the Blues in St. Louis.
