FTB: The Leafs stare down four games in six days starting tonight

It’s going to be a busy week for the Maple Leafs, starting with a game against the Buffalo Sabres tonight.

The March Break week has started today for hundreds of thousands of kids in the GTA, but for the Maple Leafs it’s more like mid-term exam week. Their final three-day break of his season has passed and now it’s a rough schedule through the next month to the end of the regular season on April 13.

From here on in, the Leafs average a game every other day, with only rare two -day breaks. It starts tonight, with four games over the next six days.

Here’s the schedule for the week (all Eastern Daylight Time; you did reset your clocks, right?) :

• vs. Buffalo Sabres, tonight at 7:30 p.m. on SNO (regional broadcast)
• vs. Colorado Avalanche, Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. on SN (national broadcast)
• vs. Carolina Hurricanes, Friday at 7:00 p.m. on TSN4 (regional broadcast - also the St. Pat’s Day game)
• @ Ottawa Senators, Saturday at 7:00 p.m. on CBC/SN (HNIC game)

It’s a going to be a really busy week with lots of games, and it’s going to be like that for the next week too with basically the same schedule only shifted by a day, so starting Tuesday and ending Sunday.

Every NHL player remembers their first goal, but for some it’s more memorable than others; selected by the Vegas Golden Knights #79 overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Pavel Dorofeyev will certainly recall his first NHL goal last night as a puck deflected off of his face into the net.
