Penguins venture north of the border to take on Leafs

This one is a Hockey Night in Canada match with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Leafs aren't a particularly good team, at least so far, but they've got a pretty deep blueline. In a few months, when newly acquired Phil Kessel arrives on the scene after mending an injury, their offense should pick up a bit, but they're anemic up front at the moment.

With injuries, the Leafs will be without Kessel, speedy forward Viktor Stalberg, Wayne Primeau and Mike Van Ryn. The Penguins are fully healthy with the exception of forward Max Talbot, out for at least another month and a half.

Marc-Andre Fleury handle the nets for Pittsburgh against Vesa Toskala for the Leafs.
