Hunt figures he'll bring energy, grit once he makes Maple Leafs debut

Dryden Hunt was traded to Toronto from Colorado Avalanche for Denis Malgin. He practised on Wednesday on the fourth line with Pontus Holmberg and Joey Anderson. The team is playing against Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday before the Christmas break. Hunt will wear No. 20. He played 25 games with Colorado, scoring one goal. His new team, the Maple Leafs, is a good team. They have been playing well recently. It's the same feeling as when he got traded from the Avs. A native of Nelson, B.C., he was a fan of the Vancouver Canucks. he knows Michael Bunting from their time together with the Arizona Coyotes.

Mikhail Sergachev was fined $5,000 US for his slash on Bunting on Tuesday night. Bunts was shoved by linesman Dan Kelly as he left the ice. After the game BunTS and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare were assessed roughing minors for their part in a skirmish.

Mitch Marner has had at least one point in 16 of the last 17 home games. Boston Bruins are the favourite to win the Stanley Cup. Chicago Blackhawks are among the worst teams to get the Cup, at 2000/1. James van Riemsdyk has seven points in his past five games for the Philadelphia Flyers.
