The Leafs were supposed to be done the season by now, sitting with their feet up waiting for game one against the Canadiens. Instead, they get to jet out to play the Jets. It could be worse, the Oilers play their last game tomorrow afternoon, so small mercies. Note the start time, though, this is another 8 pm game for some reason.
Is there anything on the line? A win puts the Leafs in fourth place ahead of Florida, and that’s it for impact. Nick Foligno and Ben Hutton get one more game to figure out the team they’ve already gotten to know.
