Toronto Maple Leafs Form
Toronto head to New Jersey looking to rebound from back-to-back defeats that have cooled off their form.
The Maple Leafs enjoyed a good run in November that included a season-best four-game win streak.
They started that run with 4-3 overtime wins against Washington and Edmonton, and kept it going with a 3-0 victory over Vegas and a 3-2 success against Utah.
Toronto’s run was halted by a 5-1 defeat at Florida, but they responded immediately to beat Tampa Bay 5-3 at home, and Chicago 4-1 and Nashville 3-2 on the road.
The Maple Leafs failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 3-1 to Washington, and they then fell to a 5-2 defeat when they visited Pittsburgh.
New Jersey Devils Form
New Jersey enter this matchup on a mixed run of form, having won three and lost three in their last six games.
The Devils put together a three-game winning run in late November that started with a 4-2 victory when they hosted Carolina.
They then won 3-2 in Washington and 5-2 at home against Nashville, only to see this positive sequence end with a 3-0 loss to St Louis.
New Jersey bounced back with a 5-4 win in Detroit, but they failed to back up that victory as they then lost 6-5 to Washington.
The Devils responded with a 5-1 win over the New York Rangers and a 3-2 success against Seattle, only to then draw a blank as they were shutout in a 4-0 loss to Colorado.
