1 regulation win against Toronto in last 10 games should be enough to wet any optimism, but Matthews drawing in now with McDavid and everyone else out, you almost wonder if it's worth playing the game.
Of course, this will be one of those games where the puck bounces the roght way 9 times out of 10 and the clowns in charge take that to mean "a tweak or two and we're right there!"

Why IS this game being played? I thought the NHL postponed all Canadian games? Was that just in AB and QC?

I asked by buddy at Sportsnet and he said it was decided based on three things;
- Canadian teams didn't want to be off for long stretches then have a compressed schedule.
- NHL doesn't want to shut down a portion of the league when the rest is close to normal. Again, causing a scheduling nightmare.
- marquee matchups were kept if possible as the network drives a lot of ratings off of those.
