Tuesday afternoon features the first time (of three) that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes will see each other in the 2019-2020 National Hockey League regular season. Both teams are currently seated precariously in the standings approaching the end of 2019, with a point or less separating the two teams from possibly being pushed out of playoff contention.
The Maple Leafs, currently 7-3-0 in their last ten, with victories in their previous four games, will be coming in hungry to increase their lead in the Atlantic Division. Especially With a mere two points separating them from the fifth-placed Montreal Canadiens.
