They Leafs will play four games in the next seven days, kicking off with the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow night. The Ducks were obliterated by the Jets yesterday, taking a 9-2 loss.

Much of the talk in the coming days will be about Auston Matthews’ new contract. Multiple insiders are reporting the two sides are moving closer together on the framework for a five or six year deal. It’s still early, but the increaased amount of talk suggests something could come together soon.
