Toronto Maple Leafs: Look to Snap Drought in Tampa Bay
The Toronto Maple Leafs head down to Florida to begin a two-game road trip, beginning with the NHL’s top team.
After two disappointing losses on home ice to the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Avalanche, the Toronto Maple Leafs are in Tampa Bay to take on the high flying Lightning. With teams in the Atlantic Division slowly creeping up on the Leafs in the standings, tonight will be an important game in more ways than one.
Shuffled Forward Combinations
In the previous two games, the Leafs have been outscored 9-5 by the Bruins and Avalanche. In addition, Toronto has been in a slump the last few weeks, posting a record of 3-5-0 since the Christmas break ended.
