Vancouver's strong performance led by Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller, while Toronto struggles with defense despite William Nylander's scoring streak

• The Vancouver Canucks are on a five-game winning streak and are looking to extend it in their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite their winning streak, several Canucks players admitted they did not play at their best in their recent game against the Ottawa Senators.
• Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller have been leading the Canucks' strong performance. Pettersson tallied a goal and two assists in their victory over the Senators, while Miller had a goal and an assist.
• The Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling with their defense, having allowed four or more goals in each of their eight home games this season. Despite this, William Nylander has been on a scoring streak, with a 14-game point streak that is a team record to open a season.
• Maple Leafs' defenseman John Klingberg, who has not played well since signing as a free agent over the summer, was scratched on Friday. He has no goals and five assists in 13 games this season.
• After their game against the Canucks, the Maple Leafs will travel to Sweden for a pair of games against the Detroit Red Wings and the Minnesota Wild.
