Welcome to TheLeafsNation Game Day where we take a look at today’s Leafs game and a few other things happening around the league all with daily fantasy in mind.
Sorry if you rode with Jack Campbell last night against Montreal. I think I jinxed him. Take solace in knowing he didn’t help me, either. Alas, let’s see if the Leafs can get back in the win column tonight.

Who I like
David Rittich ($8,100) is about as big of a question mark as you can get in net tonight. It’s a 50/50 flip I, personally, won’t be making.
Jason Spezza ($3,000) has goals in three of four games against the Flames this year, but has gone pointless in the last three games coming into tonight. I like his chances to have a rebound game tonight.
Jake Muzzin ($5,100) has played well against Calgary this year with five points in six games. He’ll look to stay hot against them again tonight.
In Calgary, there’s not a ton to like. Elias Lindholm ($5,300) is a decent option however.
Around the NHL
Johnathan Huberdeau ($6,400) has looked great this year for Florida. He’s been a point-per-game player all year and has five points in six games against Dallas this season.
I’m buying in on Taylor Hall ($4,800) for the rest of the year. I think he bounces back in a big way starting tonight.
