Tonight in Buffalo, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to make franchise history. A win against the Sabres would mark their 26th road victory of the season — the most in a single campaign in team history. It’s a testament to Toronto’s resilience away from Scotiabank Arena, where they’ve consistently shown poise and scoring depth.
The Leafs come in riding solid form, with Auston Matthews continuing his charge toward a 70-goal season, and Mitch Marner back in the lineup adding his signature playmaking flair. They’ll need all hands on deck against a Sabres team that, while out of playoff contention, always plays with pride and physicality — especially when hosting their Ontario rivals.
Goaltending will be key, as Ilya Samsonov looks to stay sharp heading into the postseason. Toronto’s blue line must also tighten up after recent defensive lapses. If the Leafs can strike early and avoid getting dragged into Buffalo’s gritty style, history could be theirs by night’s end.
More than just a record, a win would reinforce Toronto’s playoff readiness — showing they can win tough games in tough buildings when it matters most. Puck drops at 7:00 PM.
