Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for game against the Colorado Avalanche | March 8, 2025

Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will play their second of three consecutive road games when they collide with the Colorado Avalanche. After rattling off five straight wins in the wake of the 4 Nations hiatus, the team has since lost back-to-back games, falling to the San Jose Sharks and, most recently, the Vegas Golden Knights.

On the flip side, Colorado is heading into tonight's game with plenty of momentum on their side after a 7-3 win over the San Jose Sharks pushed their win streak to four.

Currently, Toronto is sitting in second place in the Atlantic Division, just two points behind the Florida Panthers, and one point ahead of the third-place Lightning.

While Florida, Toronto and Tampa Bay jockey for position atop the division, all three teams sit more than 10 points ahead of the fourth-place Senators.
