The NHL schedule will bring with it only a couple of games on the calendar to be played next Monday, April 8, 2024, the first of them being the clash between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins. The teams will face each other at 17:00 hours Central,  battling for as many wins as possible between now and the end of the season.

Analyzing the performance of both teams, it can be seen that the Toronto Maple Leafs come into this game in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 97 points. While they've already qualified for the playoffs,  the Leafs still need to find a way to get closer to the top 4 positions to have a relative advantage for the end of the season.

On the other hand, the Pittsburgh Penguins have managed to an impressive winning streak with 83 points, so they need to find a way to maintain and extend their streak to dethrone the Detroit Red Wings and New York Islanders from the playoffs. They'll need to show all their quality in this game against a direct rival for the Eastern Conference.
