|
| |  | 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. | | NEW JERSEY: LAST SEASON: 35-29-18, 88 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Peter DeBoer, 4th season with Devils (102-76-34); 7th overall in NHL (205-183-70).
ADDED: LW Mike Cammalleri, LW Martin Havlat, C Scott Gomez, G Scott Clemmensen.
LOST: G Martin Brodeur, D Anton Volchenkov, D Mark Fayne.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jaromir Jagr. Led the team in scoring with 24 goals and 43 assists in remarkable season in which he played in all 82. Can he do it again at 42-years-old. If he does, the Devils have a shot at getting back into the playoffs for the first time since reaching NHL Finals in 2011-12.
OUTLOOK: After finishing with fourth fewest goals in the league, the Devils hope free-agent signees Cammalleri (26 goals) and Havlat (12 goals in 48 games) can boost the scoring, along with Adam Henrique, who scored a career-high 25-goals last season. With Broduer not re-signed, Cory Schnedier will get most of the work in goal after posting a 1.97 goals against average in 46 games last season. Defense allowed 208 goals, ninth best in the league. |

*Maple Leafs-Devils Preview* ============================
By TOM CASTRO STATS Senior Editor
Toronto (22-23-3) at New Jersey (17-22-8), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Given the depth of the Toronto Maple Leafs' struggles, it's somewhat surprising they still have an outside shot at a wild-card spot.
The New Jersey Devils are five points behind the Leafs, but they look like the team that's more eager to make a playoff push.
The Leafs return from the All-Star break looking to snap a six-game losing streak when they visit a Devils club that's earned points in five of seven Wednesday night.
Toronto (22-23-3) scored more than one goal for the first time in six games last Wednesday but lost 4-3 at Ottawa. The Leafs trailed 3-0 after the first period in suffering their 14th defeat in 17 contests - all the losses coming in regulation.
That's left them 10 points out of the second wild-card spot with three teams to pass.
"We just have to keep trying to move forward," said center Nazem Kadri, who scored for the second straight game. "That's really all we can do is try and stay positive. We just have to play with that desperation through 60 minutes instead of 40 or 45."
Toronto held a 40-26 shot advantage over the Senators - 17-6 in the third period - but exceeded the two-goal mark for just the second time in 10 contests.
The Leafs haven't been much better defensively, allowing 3.10 goals per game to rank near the bottom of the league, and they'll be without defenseman Dion Phaneuf on a week-to-week basis due to injury.
"We'll definitely miss our captain," Kadri told the team's official website. "He also logs a lot of minutes against (opponents') top guys so that's definitely a big hole to fill."
Toronto has gone 5-10-3 without Phaneuf since he joined the Leafs in January 2010. They have a .517 winning percentage in the 359 games he's played.
Toronto could get forwards Leo Komarov, Peter Holland and Joffrey Lupul and defenseman Stephane Robidas back in the lineup Wednesday.
New Jersey (17-22-8) would need to pass six teams to capture the final wild-card berth, but the Devils have certainly appeared more motivated than the Leafs of late. New Jersey defeated San Jose 5-2 on Jan. 19 to complete a 2-1-0 California road trip, giving it a 4-2-1 mark in the past seven.
Cory Schneider made 34 saves and five players scored for the Devils, who went 4 for 9 on the power play during the three-game swing.
"We can feel good about ourselves," Schneider said. "We just have to capture this and realize this is what we have to do night in and night out."
New Jersey, near the bottom of the NHL with 2.23 goals per game, has scored four or more three times in the past seven contests. It's likely to get more help offensively Wednesday from second-leading scorer Jaromir Jagr and Tuomo Ruutu, who both missed the last three games before the break due to the flu.
"You go in feeling good but you can't feel too good," general manager and interim co-coach Lou Lamoriello said. "You just have to realize what you did to have success and take that from the game and just pick it up when you get back."
New Jersey has won the last two meetings with Toronto and is 2-0-2 in the past four. The Devils took the first matchup of the season 5-3 on the road Dec. 4, getting goals from five players and 29 saves from Schneider.
Those last four meetings represent all of Schneider's career starts against the Leafs, and he's posted a 1.93 goals-against average.
