After going on a 4-game run, the 6-7 Vancouver Canucks have now lost two straight, and it won’t get any easier for them tonight when they visit the 7-2-1 Toronto Maple Leafs. Vancouver has not played well on the road, posting a record of 2-5, and have struggled miserably against Toronto. The Canucks are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings with the Leafs and 0-7 in their last 7 trips to Scotiabank Arena. Not good. Toronto is 4-1-1 at home and superstar Auston Matthews has been on fire, finding the back of the net in five straight games. Toronto is playing like the Stanley Cup contender they are.
