Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to make it back-to-back wins after a 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. Across from them on the ice will be the Calgary Flames, who are eager to build momentum following their 3-2 win over the Seattle Kraken.
While Toronto has consistently been one of the top two teams in the Atlantic Division this season, over their last ten games the team has gone just 4-6-0. Because of that, they've fallen into second place in the divisional standings, with the streaking Ottawa Senators nipping at their heels.
On the flip side, heading into tonight's game, Calgary is sitting in fourth place in the Pacific Division with a record of 26-19-7. Based on the current standings, the team sits just one point behind the third-place LA Kings, and two points ahead of the fourth-place Vancouver Canucks.
