The Chicago Blackhawks tour through Original Six franchises in Canada continues on Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Scotiabank Arena.
Toronto enters this game with a 32-14-8 record, good for a second-place tie in the Atlantic Division with the Tampa Bay Lightning, although Tampa does have a game in hand on the Leafs. With the Boston Bruins damn near out of sight atop the Atlantic at 85 points, the postseason matchup between Tampa and Toronto feels inevitable with about 30 games left on the regular-season schedule — a series that went so well for the Maple Leafs last season.
