The Leafs are in Calgary to take on the Flames Tuesday night. Calgary coming off a win in Seattle last night, that put them back into Wild Card 2 in the West. Flames were like the Leafs in Edmonton, jumped out to a 3-0 first period lead and held on for a one goal win. It doesn't matter how you win, as long as you do. Huberdeau picked up his 20th goal of the season last night, making him the first one to accomplish that feat for Calgary this season.
Flames are 2-3-0 last 5 games, scoring just 11 goals, 5 of those on the power play.
Leafs are now 3 points out of first place in the Atlantic. But Toronto is definitely getting healthy and happy again. Leafs are 7-2-0 last 9 games on the road. Toronto has had much success in Calgary, winning 6 of their last 7 trips to Bret Hart's home town.
Matthews will play in career game 600 on Tuesday (689 points). Break Sittler's points in a game record to hit 700 points in 600 games. I'm saying there's a chance. He has a 7 game point streak in Calgary (8G, 5A).
Leafs are in Seattle on Thursday then Vancouver Saturday before the 4 Nations break.
