The Toronto Maple Leafs head to Calgary for Game 56 against the Calgary Flames with a 10:00pm ET puck drop, and all eyes are on how Toronto responds with Morgan Rielly out. We break down what his absence means, why the Leafs have oddly found success without him, and what needs to carry over from the win in Vancouver. Then it’s a full look at tonight’s forward lines, defence pairings, power-play units (including Oliver Ekman-Larsson getting the PP1 look), and the goaltending matchup with Joseph Woll set to face Dustin Wolf at the Saddledome. We wrap with the betting board, a player-prop lean, and a reminder that a win tonight could make things interesting heading into the break.
