Look for the Maple Leafs to end their losing streak tonight at home when Toronto hosts the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Two struggling teams meet tonight as the Lightning have dropped five of their last six while the Leafs have dropped seven straight.
Toronto's struggles began on Nov 25 when the Leafs dropped the first of two straight at home to Boston. Toronto has struggled to score during the 7-game slide with just nine goals in those games, three of them in a 4-3 shootout loss at Montreal on Dec 2. Tampa's only win in their last half-dozen games was an 8-0 explosion at home versus Atlanta.
Despite their current losing streak, the Maple Leafs have domianted the Lightning by taking seven of the last eight in Toronto and are 22-6-6 over their last 34 meetings vs Tampa Bay. Look for the Leafs to get out of their slump and take the much needed two points.
Play: Maple Leafs -1½
