BUFFALO, N.Y. -- With a three-game losing streak and a disappointing loss in Saturday's outdoor game against the Washington Capitals, a game against the lowly Buffalo Sabres is coming at the right time for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Maple Leafs (39-21-7) will visit their border rivals on Monday night.
Toronto received a wake-up call in the loss to the Capitals, where Washington scored shortly after each of Toronto's goals. The Maple Leafs eventually fell 5-2. Before that, Toronto had an overtime loss to the Florida Panthers and a shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
