Gameday #15: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Florida Panthers

After a win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on a 3rd period goal by Ian White, the Leafs visit Florida to take on the Panthers.

Toronto will be facing future Hall-Of-Famer and former Maple Leafs goaltender, Ed Belfour in nets tonight. Whether Aubin or Raycroft will get the start tonight is uncertain. The Leafs are playing their 2nd of 3 games in 4 nights (next game in Buffalo on Saturday), and Maurice may want to rest Raycroft for the red hot Sabres. On the other hand, Raycroft seems to be regaining the form that he started the season with, having solid performances versus the Thrashers and Tampa Bay (Stopping 54 of 58 shots).
