With Auston Matthews sidelined for the remainder of the regular season due to a Grade 3 MCL tear and knee surgery in mid-March, the Toronto Maple Leafs enter their April 2 matchup at San Jose Sharks lacking their top scorer and captain, severely impacting offensive firepower amid a 31-29-13 record placing them seventh in the Atlantic Division. The Sharks (33-31-7, sixth in Pacific) hold home-ice advantage at SAP Center, buoyed by recent head-to-head success including a 3-2 overtime win over Toronto in December and a high-scoring 6-5 shootout victory on March 27. San Jose defenseman John Klingberg and goaltender Yaroslav Askarov are expected back from lower-body and upper-body injuries by late March, while Leafs come off a 5-1 loss to St. Louis and face West Coast travel. Both teams mired in wild-card contention show leaky defenses, setting up a competitive, goal-heavy affair reflective of trader consensus on a tight contest.
