Two Heavyweight Divisional Matchups: Monday Night Hockey
Monday night is slated to feature two key divisional matchups. With playoffs just around this could be a double-preview of two different matchups. That makes for some exciting hockey. And the best part is they are staggered times! So you don't have to pick which one to watch, you can simply watch both.
Toronto @ Tampa Bay: 7:30p/et
This is likely to be a first round matchup, so you can bet on each of these squads bringing everything they have to this one. The Leafs have a lot to prove, & this will be a good personal test where they stand up against the League's best. It also gives the Leafs a huge test in the opening round, should the two matchup. This should be a good one.
Maple Leafs Projected Lineup: TBA
Lightning Projected Lineup: TBA
Calgary @ Los Angeles Kings 10:30p/et
This matchup likely wouldn't happen until the second round, barring any major shifts in the standings. But both teams have been somewhat surprising to different degrees this season. Los Angeles Kings were projected well outside the playoffs, now it is all but a certainty that they will make it. For the Flames, we all knew they would be in the playoffs, but no one really had them atop the Pacific Division. Might say more about the Golden Knights than the Flames, but whatever. The battle of Darryl Sutter's former & current groups will be a good one.
