The Toronto Maple Leafs (24-13-2) welcome the Boston Bruins (20-16-4) to Scotiabank Arena for a pivotal Atlantic Division matchup that could have significant playoff implications.
The Maple Leafs enter the contest riding high on back-to-back victories while allowing just two goals in their last two games, showcasing the stellar performance of goaltender Joseph Woll who boasts a .927 save percentage this season.
The Bruins, meanwhile, look to snap a two-game losing streak where they've managed just two goals total, despite the continued strong play of David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand who have combined for 28 goals and 41 assists this season.
Toronto's balanced attack, led by the dynamic trio of Mitch Marner, William Nylander, and John Tavares, has helped them secure the top spot in the Atlantic Division, while Boston's third-place position hangs in the balance.
With both teams featuring strong defensive units - Toronto allowing 2.74 goals per game and Boston at 3.00 - this matchup could come down to which offense can break through first.
As these longtime rivals prepare to face off, fans and analysts alike will be watching to see if the Maple Leafs can extend their winning streak or if the Bruins can rediscover their scoring touch in this crucial division battle.
