| |  | TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 38-6-8, 84 points, finished 12th in the East and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Randy Carlyle, fifth season with the Leafs, 343-244-77.
ADDED: RW Matt Frattin, C Leo Komarov, D Roman Polak, D Stephane Robidas, C Mike Santorelli.
LOST: C Dave Bolland, D Tim Gleason, D Carl Gunnerson, C Jay McClement, RW Nikolai Kulemin, LW Mason Raymond.
PLAYER TO WATCH: David Clarkson. The right winger's first season with his boyhood team was one he'd rather forget. Clarkson had with 11 points (five goals and six assists) in 60 games with a minus-14 rating after agreeing to a seven-year, $36.75 million deal with Toronto.
OUTLOOK: The hirings of Brendan Shanahan as team president, Kyle Dubas as the assistant general manager and the added emphasis of analytics seem to indicate a new day for the Leafs. But much of the team that lost 12 of their final 14 games last season has returned. Coupled with the fact that the Leafs are in a division with 2013-14 playoff teams in Boston, Tampa Bay, Montreal and Detroit, it's hard to envision a scenario in which Toronto shows enough improvement to contend for a postseason berth in 2014-15. | | CAROLINA: LAST SEASON: 36-35-11, 83 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 13th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Bill Peters, 1st season with Hurricanes; 1st overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Brad Malone, D Tim Gleason.
LOST: C Manny Malhotra, G Justin Peters, C Brett Sutter.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Eric Staal. The captain is coming off the most disappointing season of his career, with his 21 goals his fewest in an 82-game season since he was a rookie a decade ago. With a salary of $9.25 million, he's one of the highest-paid players in the game but he managed just one power-play goal last season. He had sports hernia surgery during the offseason, and a fresh start with the detail-driven Peters could be just what Staal needs.
OUTLOOK: No team in the current alignment of the Eastern Conference has a longer playoff drought than the Hurricanes, who haven't made the postseason since 2009. How quickly Peters' message of focus and personal accountability gets through to a largely unchanged roster will determine whether that streak finally ends this season. |

*Maple Leafs-Hurricanes Preview* ================================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Toronto (19-9-3) at Carolina (8-19-3), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Toronto Maple Leafs have produced their torrid stretch while getting the benefit of a bevy of home games.
That's about to change, but Thursday night's visit to the woeful Carolina Hurricanes could make the transition to a road-heavy slate a little easier. It may also lead to the Maple Leafs securing their longest win streak in 10 seasons.
Toronto (19-9-3) has played just twice on the road while going 10-1-1 since Nov. 20 and had one game away from home while winning eight of nine. The Maple Leafs are set to play eight of nine and 17 of their next 22 on the road.
Toronto is 2-2-2 in its last six games there compared with a 9-1-0 home record since Nov. 20. In their next road contest, the Maple Leafs will try for their first seven-game win streak since taking eight in a row Nov. 22-Dec. 9, 2003.
"Our schedule is tough for the next month and a half here," forward Phil Kessel said. "We've just got to play good team hockey, keep doing the little things and we'll be all right."
Toronto halted Anaheim's seven-game win streak with a 6-2 victory Tuesday. Jonathan Bernier made 40 saves and Kessel had two goals in the final five minutes, giving him six in the past eight games and 11 points in the last nine.
James van Riemsdyk had a pair of assists and also has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in the past nine contests.
The Maple Leafs will go from facing the team with the most points in the league to the team with the fewest. The Hurricanes (8-19-3) have been outscored 18-6 in losing six straight, all in regulation, and have dropped 13 of 16.
"It's a tough league to win in when you're scoring one goal a game," forward Jeff Skinner said. "We haven't been executing in the offensive end to earn a win."
Carolina has also struggled at the other end of the ice lately, allowing nine goals in the past two games. The latest was a 4-1 defeat in Montreal on Tuesday, and the four goals allowed were the most for Cam Ward in seven games.
The Hurricanes have lost six of seven at home and will be trying to avoid their first four-game skid there since an 0-3-2 one Oct. 11-Nov. 1, 2013. Carolina had an 0-6-2 overall start to this season.
The Hurricanes won two of three meetings with Toronto last season, and a 6-1 rout Jan. 9 was their fourth consecutive home victory in the series.
Carolina won't have Jordan Staal, who has five goals and five assists in his last seven games against Toronto, because he's still recovering from a broken right leg. Skinner has two goals and nine assists in his past eight matchups, but he's managed just two goals and two assists in his last 10 games.
Kessel scored twice in a 5-2 victory over Carolina on Dec. 29 but has been held without a point in five of his last seven matchups.
