Goaltending match-up: Ben Scrivens (38/41, .927 SV%) vs. Cam Ward (23/25, .920 SV%)

Combos: Joffrey Lupul - Tyler Bozak - Phil Kessel/ Matt Frattin - Tim Connolly - Nikolai Kulemin/ Dave Steckel - Joe Colborne - Joey Crabb/ Jay Rosehill - Philippe Dupuis - Colton Orr/ Carl Gunnarsson - Dion Phaneuf/ Jake Gardiner - Luke Schenn/ Cody Franson - John-Michael Liles

Scratches: MacArthur, Brown, Holzer

Top PP times: Phaneuf, Connolly, Lupul (1:11), Kessel (0:52), Liles (0:46)

Trending: Phil Kessel (2G, +1, 4 PIM, 2 SOG) got the Leafs on the board here in the third period and he actually only had three goals in 20 prior tries against the Canes. He sniped a pretty sweet one to make it 3-2 in the last minute of the third. What a shot. Dion Phaneuf (1A, -1, 2 PIM, 4 SOG) has points in B2B games now after what has otherwise been a quiet November, while Tim Connolly (2A, 2 SOG) had 2-4-6 in his 8 GP coming in here.

Combos: Jeff Skinner - Eric Staal - Tuomo Ruutu/ Chad LaRose - Jussi Jokinen - Alexei Ponikarovsky/ Jiri Tlusty - Brandon Sutter - Pat Dwyer/ Anthony Stewart- Tim Brent - Zach Boychuk/ Tomas Kaberle - Jamie McBain/ Tim Gleason - Bryan Allen/ Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Scratches: Dalpe, Pitkanen, Joslin

Top PP times: McBain (5:41), Kaberle (5:39), Staal (5:09), Skinner (4:44), Ruutu (4:39)

Trending: New line tweaks again, with Eric Staal (2A, +2, 4 SOG) and Jeff Skinner (1G, 1A, +2, 5 SOG) reunited to open today. Staal owners just hope he can get something going on a consistent basis. The two have been paired together already, but there have been concerns on the defensive side of the puck. Offensively? They had some unreal chances, especially in the third period. Staal was also denied on a breakaway, but then Skinner came in and picked up the loose change to give the Canes a 3-1 lead. Jussi Jokinen (1G, 3:29 PP, 2 SOG) had four points in six November games coming in, while Justin Faulk (1A, +1, 3:04 PP, 2 SOG) collected his first NHL point in his fifth start.

Goaltending match-up: Thomas Greiss (36/37, .973 SV%) vs. Jean-Sebastien Giguere (14/17, .824 SV%)

Combos: Logan Couture - Joe Thornton - Joe Pavelski/ Patrick Marleau - Torrey Mitchell - Ryane Clowe/ Jamie McGinn - Michal Handzus - Martin Havlat/ Brad Winchester - Andrew Desjardins - Andrew Murray/ Douglas Murray - Dan Boyle/ Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Brent Burns/ Colin White - Justin Braun

Scratches: Vandermeer, McLaren, Demers

Top PP times: Boyle (8:45), Marleau (7:31), Thornton (7:21), Burns (7:17), Pavelski (6:56)

Trending: Patrick Marleau (3G, +1, 6 SOG) got back up to point-per-game status with his second goal, which now gives him four multi-pointers in his past six outings. Hattie snipe from just outside his own blueline into the empty net. Fourth career hat trick. Joe Thornton (2A, +2, no SOG) had eight points in six tries coming in, while Marc-Edouard Vlasic (3A, +2, 3:00 PP, no SOG) was only a few games removed from his gargantuan four-pointer against the Wings. On the road, Joe Pavelski (1G, +2, 1 SOG) had 6-5-11 in 8 GP coming in. Logan Couture (1A, +1, 4:24 PP, 2 SOG) had six points in six games headed into this one.

Combos: Milan Hejduk - Matt Duchene - Gabriel Landeskog/ Kevin Porter - Paul Stastny - Brandon Yip/ Daniel Winnik - Ryan O'Reilly - David Jones/ Chuck Kobasew - Jay McClement - T.J. Galiardi/ Kyle Quincey - Shane O'Brien/ Erik Johnson - Jan Hejda/ Ryan O'Byrne - Ryan Wilson

Scratches: Hunwick, Lindstrom, McLeod

Top PP times: Hejduk, Stastny, Quincey, Jones (1:19), Johnson (1:07)

Trending: Matt Duchene (1G, 0:41 PP, 2 SOG) has goals in four of five, but he's been feeling it all month for poolies. Gabriel Landeskog (1A, -1, 2 PIM, 0:41 PP, 4 SOG) has points in B2B games for the third time this season and he also hit double digits for points on the season. Ryan Wilson (1A, +1, 0:41 PP, 4 SOG) already had 1-10-11 coming in here from the back end.

Goaltending match-up: Jimmy Howard (32/34, .941 SV%) vs. Jonas Hiller (26/29, .897 SV%)

Combos: Johan Franzen - Pavel Datsyuk - Todd Bertuzzi/ Valtteri Filppula - Henrik Zetterberg - Danny Cleary/ Jiri Hudler - Darren Helm - Justin Abdelkader/ Drew Miller - Cory Emmerton - Tomas Holmstrom/ Nicklas Lidstrom - Jonathan Ericsson/ Niklas Kronwall - Brendan Smith/ Jakub Kindl - Brad Stuart

Scratches: Eaves, Commodore, Brunnstrom

Top PP times: Lidstrom (8:21), Kronwall (6:18), Cleary (6:00), Filppula (5:59), Zetterberg (5:59)

Trending: Henrik Zetterberg (1G, 1A, +2, 3 SOG) had 34 points in 29 GP vs. ANH coming in. Jiri Hudler (1A, +1, 5:29 PP, 2 SOG) has points in four of seven. Brendan Smith (1A, 2 PIM, 1:50 PP, 3 SOG) has added points in two of his three starts. Pavel Datsyuk (2A, +2, 5:05 PP, 4 SOG) has points in three straight for the first time this season. Johan Franzen (1G, 1A, +2, 5:05 PP, 2 SOG) had a three-pointer the last time he met the Ducks. This is the second multi-pointer in five tries for Brad Stuart (2G, +2, 0:21 PP< 2 SOG), but that's it for his points this season. Bank-shot ENG for his second marker.

Combos: Bobby Ryan - Ryan Getzlaf - Corey Perry/ Andrew Cogliano - Saku Koivu - Teemu Selanne/ Niklas Hagman - Brandon McMillan - Devante Smith-Pelly/ Maxime Macenauer - Ben Maxwell - Andrew Gordon/ Francois Beauchemin - Cam Fowler/ Toni Lydman - Kurtis Foster/ Luca Sbisa - Sheldon Brookbank

Scratches: Guenin, Beleskey

Top PP times: Fowler (6:49), Selanne (6:07), Perry (6:07), Getzlaf (6:07), Foster (5:40)

Trending: Teemu Selanne (1G, 2 PIM, 3 SOG) has PPGs in two of three after a long string without one, while Corey Perry (1A, -3, 6 SOG) has points in seven of nine. Ryan Getzlaf (1A, -3, 2 PIM, 2 SOG) has a point in four of five after having only one in six tries. Saku Koivu (1G, 3:27 PP, 1 SOG) has points in three of five now, but had just 2-5-7 coming in. Cam Fowler (1A, -2, 1 SOG) carried six November points coming in here. Andrew Cogliano (1A, +1, no PP, 2 SOG) had four of his six points on the season in the four games leading into this one. Bobby Ryan was ROBBED by Howard in second period. Catch the highlights.

Goaltending match-up: Alex Auld (25/27, .926 SV%) vs. Cory Schneider (28/29, .966 SV%). Anderson wasn't able to start due to a sore neck.

Combos: Milan Michalek - Jason Spezza - Colin Greening/ Nick Foligno - Stephane Da Costa - Daniel Alfredsson/ Kaspars Daugavins - Zack Smith - Erik Condra/ Bobby Butler - Jesse Winchester - Zenon Konopka/ Filip Kuba - Erik Karlsson/ Sergei Gonchar - Jared Cowen/ Chris Phillips - Brian Lee

Scratches: Rundblad

Top PP times: Karlsson (6:44), Gonchar (5:56), Spezza (5:00), Michalek (4:44), Greening (4:41)

Trending: Colin Greening (1G, +1, 2 PIM, 4 SOG) has goals in B2B games, but has nothing the rest of November. Sergei Gonchar (1A, +1, 4 PIM, 1 SOG) owns his second five-game point streak of the season, while Jason Spezza (1A, +1, 5 SOG) added more for his owners here. He had 15 points in 12 November GP, but just four in eight in November before tonight.

Combos: Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Jannik Hansen/ Chris Higgins - Ryan Kesler - Alexandre Burrows/ David Booth - Maxim Lapierre - Cody Hodgson/ Aaron Volpatti - Manny Malhotra - Dale Weise/ Dan Hamhuis - Kevin Bieksa/ Alexander Edler - Sami Salo/ Andrew Alberts - Aaron Rome

Scratches: Ballard, Sulzer, Luongo

Top PP times: Sedins, Salo (3:49), Kesler (3:35), Edler (3:34)

Trending: Henrik Sedin (1G, 1 SOG) hasn't gone more than two games in a row without a point this season. Same thing for Daniel Sedin (1A, 2 SOG). Go figure. What were the odds? Ryan Kesler (1A, -1, 2 SOG) had three points in eight games coming in, which means there's still a window to get him for a decent price. He'll get there. Don't worry. Chris Higgins (1G, 2:12 PP, 4 SOG) tipped in the OT GWG, which was his first winner since the '09-10 campaign. He has points in three of six now. Dan Hamhuis (1A, +1, 2:31 PP, 1 SOG) has seven points in his past eight outings and Sami Salo (1A, +1, 2 SOG) has a point in three of five.
