It's New Years Eve, and after greeting alumni in the Leafs locker room, President Brendan Shanahan must don a Red Wings jersey and lace up against them. As Shanahan states, any battle between two Original Six rivals is a chance to rekindle old passions.

Riding a hot streak on the road, the Maple Leafs return to Toronto for a four game homestand. When Morgan Rielly goes down to injury in the first game, Jake Gardiner needs to step into the #1 position.
