"The Toronto Maple Leafs host the Buffalo Sabres tonight in a huge matchup at Scotiabank Arena. If the Leafs want to beat the Sabres though, they'll have to shut down the red hot Jack Eichel who's currently riding a 16 game point streak. No surprise as head coach Sheldon Keefe will send Frederik Andersen in between the pipes and he'll go up against Linus Ullmark of the Sabres. Keefe also confirmed earlier today that both Tyson Barrie and Trevor Moore will play tonight. It's a huge two points on the line tonight so the Leafs will take any help they can get. "Any time you play a division rival, it's an important game. We have a chance to make up some ground here tonight." Auston Matthews told the media. Here's a look at tonight's full projected lineup:Kapanen -- Matthews -- Nylander Hyman -- Tavares -- Marner Engvall -- Kerfoot -- Mikheyev Moore -- Gauthier -- Spezza Rielly -- Barrie Muzzin -- Holl Dermott -- Ceci Andersen "
