The Leafs end their 4 game home cooking tonight with a backyard BBQ with the Avalanche. The teams met 11 days ago in Denver. Toronto had a 4-2 lead in the second period, yadda yadda yadda they lost 7-4.

Avs are 8-0-1 in their past 9 games, outscoring opponent 40-17, going 10/26 on PP. They are 1-2-1 in their past 4 road games, scoring 1 goal in each of the three losses. Colorado very much enjoys playing in Toronto as they are 6-1-0 in their past 7 trips to Scotiabank Arena. 

Nylander (5G, 8A) has a 9 game point streak. 

Toronto has struggled a lot in the 3rd period of late, and it's overdue to fix that especially since Colorado has sacred 92 goals in the 3rd period, which is the second most in the NHL (WSH-95).
In 15 career games against the Avs, Matthews has 10G, 10A.On the other side of the pond, MacKinnon in his 21 career games vs Leafs he has 10G, 13A.

Here's a fun one, Marner 4 goals in 5 career games against Blackwood, Matthews 5 goals in 6 career games against Wedgewood.

Tomorrow night the Leafs are at MSG. Montreal jumped over Rangers yesterday for WC2, so, who are Habs fans cheering for tomorrow night?

I'll breakdown that game tomorrow morning along with a recap of Leafs/Avs.
