The Maple Leafs earned a 4-3 overtime victory Thursday against the New Jersey Devils. It was without Ryan Reaves in the lineup, who only played 28 games this season. However, he will be in this evening’s match in Montreal.
Leafs head coach Craig Berube was asked about the change to his roster. He responded like this: “It’s a big game. Montreal is a big rivalry, obviously. They have strong players, so we will have to be physical tonight. We will have to play big.”
On average, when dressed, Ryan Reaves spends less than eight minutes per game on the ice this season. He only collected two assists in 2024-2025 and has a record of -1.
The striker has not given up his gloves since the start of this campaign. His last fight dates back to September 22, when he danced with Donovan Sebrango of the Ottawa Senators in a preseason game. We bet that he will try to engage Arber Xhekaj this evening.
