The NHL game that could be considered the most interesting on next Saturday’s night schedule corresponds to the clash between Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes, as both teams have managed to keep in the top 4 of the Eastern Conference throughout the season. However, Toronto is at high risk of losing their status in case of not winning this game, as they’re currently tied with New Jersey Devils with 68 points.
With that in mind, Toronto Maple Leafs must try to mentally recover after losing a streak of 3 victories in a row with their most recent loss against Vancouver Canucks (2-1), being worth noting that Toronto was only been able to score more than 3 goals in 2 out of their last 5 games. Additionally, when only focusing on the top 6 of the Eastern Conference, the Maple Leafs are the worst offensive with 169 scored goals this season.
Meanwhile, Carolina Hurricanes still are one of the most irregular teams in the Conference, a fact that can be easily ratified when looking at their streak of 3 losses in a row that abruptly ended after showing dominance over Utah Hockey Club (7-3) just before the Nations Face-Off. In this matter, it’s necessary to highlight that despite their irregularity, the Hurricanes are the third best defensive in the Metropolitan Division.
