Leafs vs Canucks Game 16 Preview: Joshua & Tanev Return, Stolarz Gets the Crease, and Best Bets

The Toronto Maple Leafs wrap up their road trip in Vancouver tonight against the Canucks, looking to snap a two-game losing streak. Zack Phillips gets you set for Game 16 with the latest lineup news, injury updates, keys to the game and best bets.

Anthony Stolarz gets the start after Sergei Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 17 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Seattle. Jim Hiller says the decision to start Stolarz was already planned, but Bobrovsky's early-season struggles remain a major talking point.

Gavin McKenna is coming off his first three-point NHL game, scoring twice against the Kraken while playing alongside Auston Matthews and Jack Roslovic. Can Toronto's new-look top line keep producing with Kirill Marchenko and John Tavares sidelined?

Meanwhile, Vancouver has lost 10 of its last 12 games and is coming off another late collapse against San Jose. The Canucks have struggled defensively all season, making this an important opportunity for the Leafs to finish their road trip on a high note.

Zack breaks down the projected lineups, Chris Tanev's status, the goaltending matchup and his best bets ahead of puck drop.
