While all the talk was on Toronto's seven goal explosion on Saturday night, one thing that seemed to go unnoticed was Max Pacioretty's close call with injury.

Crag Berube was forced to shuffle the Leafs' lines at practice ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Wild with the imminent return of Max Pacioretty.

Pacioretty is projected to return to the Maple Leafs' lineup against the Wild while Knies could be back on Saturday against Edmonton.

The collapse was complete when Steven Lorentz was left all alone in front and he beat Montembeault to make it 6-3 Leafs. The Canadiens kept trying to claw their way back, but Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll did everything he could to protect the Leaf lead, including using the knob of his stick.

TORONTO -- Filip Gustavsson made 32 saves for the Minnesota Wild in a 3-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday.

The Minnesota Wild last played away on January 26 against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Wild won by a score of 4-2 in regulation, and their current league record is 29-17-4 for a 0.620 Points %. Tied with the Leafs in Points %, the Wild are third in the central with a goal differential even more slight than the Leafs at +3.

Tampa Bay Lightning coach John Cooper knows the Toronto Maple Leafs well. He thinks new coach Craig Berube has had a massive influence on the Leafs squad.

Goaltender Dennis Hildeby was exposed against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Leafs’ 5-1 loss at Scotiabank Arena. His mobility in the crease was an issue as Toronto’s three-game winning streak came to an end.

Joseph Woll is set to make his 24th start of the season on Monday, which will mark a new career high for the Leafs goaltender. "He feels like he's in a good spot," said head coach Craig Berube.

According to NHL Stats, the Maple Leafs scored seven unanswered goals for the first time since Dec. 16, 2023 in a 7-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. They had scored seven or more unanswered goals three times previously in their long rivalry with the Canadiens, but not since 1942.

Whether he’s adjusting to Berube’s system, his first season as a father, or a carousel of partners, the bottom line is that Morgan Rielly is still searching for his A game. Luke Fox provides updates on the D-man,
