The Leafs have had mixed success this season against the Bolts, who have had a historic regular season run with 60 wins and 124 points in 80 games played. The Leafs lost their last matchup 4-1, but won the previous one 4-2. In their first matchup with Tampa, although the Leafs lost 4-1, they put up an impressive fight, outshooting the opponent 49-21 but losing the game to star netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Tampa’s historic run clinched them the President’s Trophy all the way back on March 18th, but they’ve only gone 3-2-0 in their last five, including a shocking 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadians on Tuesday.
