### Toronto Maple Leafs @ Chicago Blackhawks  
07:00 PM at United Center  
Watch on: ESPN+, HULU, TSN4

### 

The Leafs last game was at home on February 22 against the Carolina Hurricanes, which Toronto won by a score of 6-3 in regulation. The Leafs have a record of 34-20-2 for a 0.625 Points %.

The Chicago Blackhawks last played away on February 22 against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blackhawks lost by a score of 5-1 in regulation, and their current league record is 17-32-7 for a 0.366 Points %.

### Them

At this time of the year, I resent even having to talk about teams that are tanking. The only question with Chicago is who else will they trade. They have four more points than San Jose in one less game, so they need to start clearing out the talent.

### Us

The Leafs are likely to switch up the roster a little, and Connor Dewar might be available, but the Leafs would need to clear a roster spot for him, and they aren't sending Alex Steeves down today!

### The Game

Even Chicago makes an effort against the Leafs. So maybe don't play in the defensive zone for two periods. Just a thought.
