Struggling Blackhawks, Maple Leafs Meet in Toronto TORONTO (Interstat) — Two teams seeking consistency will meet when the Chicago Blackhawks visit the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday night. Both clubs enter with losing records. The Blackhawks are 13-19-0, while the Maple Leafs sit at 14-17-0. Chicago arrives after a 4-0 home loss to Detroit on Saturday, extending a pattern of erratic results. Prior to that defeat, they had shut out the New York Rangers 3-0, but also suffered lopsided losses to Anaheim (7-1) and Los Angeles (6-0) in recent weeks. Toronto is also looking to rebound from a 6-3 home loss to Edmonton on Saturday. The Maple Leafs’ form has been similarly uneven, mixing a three-game win streak earlier this month with subsequent losses to San Jose and Edmonton. A key matchup will be in net, where Chicago’s Arvid Soderblom is expected to start. The goaltender has faced heavy fire lately, making 46 saves on 53 shots in the loss to Anaheim on Dec. 7. In his last five appearances, he is 1-4-0 with a .879 save percentage, underscoring the defensive challenges in front of him. For Toronto, forward Steven Lorentz has emerged as a recent contributor. He recorded a goal and an assist in the loss to Edmonton, showing a spark on a line that will be counted on for secondary scoring. The teams last met on Nov. 15 in Chicago, with the Blackhawks earning a 3-2 victory. Toronto will aim to avenge that result on home ice. Following this game, Chicago continues a road trip in Montreal on Thursday. Toronto heads to Washington on Thursday to begin a three-game trip. The puck drops at 7 p.m. EST.
