Yes, it's already Monday. That was a busy weekend with the Leafs playing twice and winning both games. Here's our recap of yesterday's win over Chicago.

[Recap: Toronto takes a regulation win away from ChicagoThey scored over expected by enough to not worry about that one really funky goal Chicago scored.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/PPP-Goalie-Logo_RGB-112.png)PPP LeafsCathy Squires![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/photo-1533671060331-28ad093d77dd)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/recap-toronto-regulation-win-weird-offside/)

The Leafs schedule this week is to play the Bruins tomorrow in Boston, then the Rangers in New York on Friday, followed by a rare Saturday off.

The weekend did not go so well for the Marlies, playing a three-in-three weekend they lost all three games, though two losses were after regulation so they walk away with two points, but it is a disappointment, however we did get A Nylander goal!

The Marlies now sit third in the AHL North Division, with Cleveland moving up behind them. Staying at third place or higher is ideal as you get a bye on the play-in round post-season and skip right to the next round.

Meanwhile the Sceptres notched their sixth win in a row yesterday in Minnesota, beating the Frost 3-1\. Here's the Game in Five, but if you want to skip to the best part skip to four minutes in to see Compher score.

The Sceptres next game is tomorrow in Montreal (Laval).
