| Sunrise, FL (MySportsbook) - The Toronto Maple Leafs continue a Southeast swing tonight when they visit the Florida Panthers at the Office Depot Center. Toronto has lost two of its last three games, including Monday's 1-0 setback in Atlanta. The Thrashers' Brad Tapper broke a scoreless tie with 3:42 left in the game, and goaltender Pasi Nurminen stymied the Leafs with 30 saves. The contest marked the second time this season that Toronto was blanked. The Maple Leafs went 0-for-6 on the power play Monday to conti |

| Atlanta, GA (MySportsbook) - The Atlanta Thrashers try to halt a six-game skid tonight when they welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to Philips Arena. Atlanta, 0-4-0-2 during the lull, has been shut out twice in the last six tilts, including Saturday's 4-0 pounding in St. Louis. The Blues scored twice in the first and third period to push the Thrashers into the NHL basement, once again. With 18 points they are two behind the Buffalo Sabres in the race for NHL futility. Goaltender Byron Dafoe allowed four goals on 2 |

| Toronto, Ontario (MySportsbook) - The New York Rangers officially begin life without Mike Richter tonight when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre. New York has been without its all-time winningest goaltender for over a month due to a concussion, but it was announced Thursday that he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. To counteract the loss, the Blueshirts acquired Mike Dunham from the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Rem Murray, defenseman Tomas Kloucek and the ri |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - The Toronto Maple Leafs seek their third straight win tonight when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers at First Union Center.

The Bruins are also 8-2 in their last 10, and the Senators are 10-1-3 in their last 14. On Tuesday the Leafs capped off a brief homestand with a 4-2 victory over Mario Lemieux and the Pitt |

To make room for Druken, Toronto placed forward Shayne Corson on injured reserve. Corson, |

Following a win over Vancouver on Tuesday, the Islanders got a measure of revenge on Friday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs with a spirited 4-2 victory at Nassau Coliseum. Arron Asham scored twice, leading the Islanders to the win in the rematch of last year's bitter opening round playoff series.

| Uniondale, NY (MySportsbook) - One of the most anticipated matchups of the season will take place tonight when the New York Islanders welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to Nassau Coliseum in the teams' first clash since last spring's spirited playoff series. Toronto escaped the first-round set by winning a Game 7, but the series is best-remembered for the low-bridge hit on Isles captain Mike Peca by the Leafs' Darcy Tucker in the fifth match. While legal, Tucker's hip check was extremely dangerous and the result w |

| (MySportsbook) - The New York Islanders have waited for this moment ever since the Toronto Maple Leafs knocked them out of last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not only is it a chance to get even with the team that cut their season short a year ago, but it will also be the first on-ice encounter between Isles' captain Michael Peca and Toronto tough-guy Darcy Tucker, who ended Peca's season in the playoffs with a cheap hip-check that tore up Peca's knee.

| (MySportsbook) - The Toronto Maple Leafs, who some picked as their preseason favorite in the East, didn't get off to the best of starts in the first month- and-a-half of the campaign. Four wins was all they could manage in their initial 15 tries, but from game 16 on the Leafs have looked more like the team they were expected to be. Toronto finished up November on a 7-2 spurt, and it opened December in similar fashion. Karel Pilar scored 3:48 into overtime to lift the Maple Leafs to a 4-3 comeback win over the T |
