Leafs vs Utah Game 17 Preview: Bobrovsky Starts, Tavares Update & Best Bets

The Toronto Maple Leafs are back home to take on the Utah Mammoth in Game 17 of the season! Zack Phillips gets you ready for puck drop with the latest lineup news, injury updates, keys to the game and best bets.

Sergei Bobrovsky gets the start despite his recent struggles, while John Tavares has been upgraded to day-to-day after returning to the ice in a non-contact jersey. Toronto is still without Kirill Marchenko, and Jim Hiller has made more changes up front, with Easton Cowan back alongside Auston Matthews and Jack Roslovic.

The Leafs are coming off a 4-2 win over Vancouver and will look to carry that momentum into a six-game homestand. They'll also be looking to avenge last month's 5-4 loss to Utah, with Clayton Keller, Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther presenting another tough test.

Plus, Zack breaks down the projected lineups, Toronto's goaltending situation and a matchup between Utah's league-leading power play and one of the NHL's best penalty kills.
