Auston Matthews missed the morning skate due to an illness and is listed as a game-time decision. Mark Masters has more ahead of puck drop against the Washington Capitals.

The Leafs prepared as if their top-line centre will be available. Instead of shuffling the lines, Toronto simply had Mitch Marner, who will miss a ninth straight game with a high-ankle sprain, take reps in Matthews' spot beside"We are hopeful it is a little more manageable and he can be available tonight," Keefe said."We will see how the extra rest benefits him."

The Leafs actually led the Devils 3-2 in the second period before New Jersey seized back control of the game. Ovechkin, 38, looks nothing like the guy who started out slow with only eight goals through 43 games this season. ."I've never seen anyone like it. There are obviously guys in this league that are very good and very good goal scorers. There's one across locker room who's extremely elite, but my own eyes personally, I've never seen someone who wants to score more than O does.
