Maple Leafs lineup today: Toronto projected lineup for game against Vegas Golden Knights | March 5, 2025

The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to get back in the win column when they face off with the Vegas Golden Knights on the road on Wednesday. While the team had been riding an undefeated streak since returning from the 4 Nations break, which saw it pick up five straight wins, in its last outing, Toronto dropped a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Monday.

On the flip side, Vegas will be riding into tonight's game with plenty of momentum on its side after back-to-back wins, including a 2-0 shutout of the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.

Heading into tonight's game, Toronto is tied for first in the Atlantic Division with a record of 38-20-3, which sees it holding onto 79 points. On the flip side, Vegas is sitting atop the Pacific Division, four points ahead of the Edmonton Oilers.

Depending on how things shake out in the postseason, tonight's game could be a preview of the Stanley Cup Finals.
