As the trade deadline approaches, the Toronto Maple Leafs face key decisions that could shape their playoff run. Right now, the two most significant foci are a scoring center and defensive depth.

Myers logged 17:16 of ice time in which he blocked one shot and was minus-1 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights. In the last few games, Myers has found his way back to a top-pair role on the right side of Morgan Reilly to mixed results - two games as a plus player and two as a minus player.

The two teams hunting the first-place Leafs are on heaters. The Florida Panthers are winners of four straight and nine their past 11. The Tampa Bay Lightning were winners of eight in a row before losing to the Panthers Monday and have also snatched nine of their past 11.

The Sharks refuse to stop trying, even though the Leafs are undefeated this year when leading after two periods, and Jack Thompson gets a puck deflected off the boards behind the net and shoots it past Stolarz, to cut the Leafs lead to one.
