Given the fact that the Leafs were the worst team in the Eastern Conference last year, the franchise's front-office is certainly pleased with the team's good start into the 2010-11 season. More precisely, Phil Kessel and company did not only defeat the Montreal Canadiens on opening night but secured a 5-1 blowout win versus Ottawa two days later. Thus, the Toronto Maple Leafs will try to steal one on the road when they meet Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday at 11:30 p.m. GMT.

Having started the season with two straight losses, the Penguins are highly motivated to end their losing streak sooner rather than later. Considering that the Penguins won the Stanley Cup in 2009 and made it to the Conference Semifinals last year, there is no doubt that the team from Pennsylvania can be expected to establish itself in the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference down the stretch. After all, Pittsburgh's All-Stars Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby combined for no less than 186 points last year and will continue to lead the Penguins' offense throughout the season. Taking the overall strength of both sides into account, Pittsburgh should be able to defeat the Leafs if they play up to their potential.
