The Maple Leafs are 7-1-2 versus New Jersey since the beginning of the 2008-09 season. They’ve allowed two goals while winning the last three meetings at Air Canada Centre. Jonas Gustavsson started in Toronto’s net for the two matchups this season but was sent to the minors last week. Fellow rookie James Reimer, who has never faced the Devils, has been splitting time with Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who has won his last four starts versus New Jersey. All-Star forward Phil Kessel, who has not scored in the last 12 games, has three goals and two assists in his last five games against the Devils. The Leafs could see right winger Joffrey Lupul make his debut after he was acquired Wednesday in a deal that sent defenseman Francois Beauchemin back to Anaheim. Lupul has 13 points in 26 games this season after sitting out nearly a year with a back injury and subsequent blood infection.
Toronto will try to post its first four-game home winning streak since a five-game run March 9-20. Toronto will try for a season-high fourth consecutive home win and a fourth straight over the Devils on Thursday night. After averaging 1.7 goals during a 1-5-1 slide going into the All-Star break, the Maple Leafs have scored 3.6 per game during a 4-1-0 stretch to climb within eight points of eighth-place Carolina in the Eastern Conference. New Jersey’s chances of reaching the playoffs aren’t as good, standing 15 points out of the East’s No. 8 spot, but the fact that it’s even a possibility at this point is fairly surprising. The Devils shared the NHL’s worst record when rookie coach John McLean was fired Dec. 23 and replaced by Jacques Lemaire, but they’re 10-1-2 since Jan. 8.
