In an Eastern Conference showdown, the fifth-ranked Toronto Maple Leafs are set to clash with the 11th-seeded New Jersey Devils at Scotiabank Arena, scheduled for Tuesday at 7:30 PM ET.
Toronto, boasting a record of 40-21-9, enters the matchup fresh off a narrow 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes during their recent road trip on March 24. Despite their solid position in the standings, the Maple Leafs aim to rebound swiftly and secure a victory on home ice.
On the other side, the New Jersey Devils, positioned at 35-33-4, arrive in Toronto following a dominant performance in their last outing on March 24, where they secured a convincing 4-0 win over the New York Islanders.
Buoyed by this recent success, the Devils look to carry forward their momentum into this clash against the Maple Leafs, hoping to disrupt their opponent's rhythm and secure crucial points as they seek to climb the conference standings.
