TORONTO. - The Toronto Maple Leafs (22-15-7, 5th Atlantic) open a four-game road trip with a major test against the Colorado Avalanche (33-4-7, 1st Central) at Ball Arena on Monday night.
The Leafs, who are riding on a three-game win streak, will have their work cut out for them if they’d like to keep it alive against the top-ranked team in the league.

The Avalanche have been dominant at home this season, remaining undefeated at home with a 19-0-2 record, while the Leafs have proven to struggle with more losses than wins on the road (6-10-2).

Historically, Colorado has dictated the matchups in this series, with tight advantages at Ball Arena, but they will be tested for the first time this season by the Buds strong offence.

The last time Toronto won against the Avalanche at Ball Arena was on Feb. 24, 2023.

By the numbers

William Nylander leads the Leafs with 44 points overall, 15 goals and 29 assists. John Tavares, who’s close behind with 40, leads the team with 16 goals. Toronto’s captain Auston Matthews has also stepped up in recent battles, adding seven goals and five assists.

At Colorado’s end of the ice, Martin Necas scored 20 goals and 24 assists for the Avalanche, while Brock Nelson has collected seven of his own and eight assists in the last 10 games.

What to expect

Still, the Avalanche will remain without their captain Gabriel Landeskog for a fourth consecutive game. Landeskog suffered an upper body injury early in the second period during their game against the Florida Panthers on Jan. 4.

Even without him, their penalty kill could be their potential edge. Currently, the Avalanche’s percentage puts them at the top of the stat category with 85.6 per cent, slightly outdoing Toronto’s 85.3 per cent.

But their power play percentage placing them at 26th in the league is something they need to improve. One possible solution to move up could be to take more risks around the net and make less predictable puck movement.

So, if Toronto hopes to get off to a good start and leave Denver with a win, they need to start out fast, with clean puck possession to dictate the tempo to offset Colorado’s efficiency on the ice.
