TORONTO -- The Penguins will be trying to get their ninth victory in the past 12 games when they face Toronto tonight at 7:08 at Scotiabank Arena.
The Maple Leafs might be trying to save their season.
Oh, they're not in danger of being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention anytime soon, but they have lost three of their past four games and are two points out of the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference.
What's particularly troubling for them is that they've absorbed two disheartening defeats in a row, including a fairly lifeless performance during a 5-2 loss to PPG Paints Arena Tuesday.
