This is the end of a three-game road trip for Toronto, a team playing four of the first five games away from home. Toronto has only one victory with a defense that has allowed 14 goals in four games, and is #20 in the NHL in goals allowed, and #16 in penalty killing. It's a young, rebuilding team with a long way to go. The Maple Leafs are winless on the road this season and on a 16-53 run away from home. Toronto has been outscored 15-3 in three consecutive losses to the Blackhawks, including a 7-2 setback in February at the United Center where the Maple Leafs surrendered four power-play goals. Chicago features two of the league's dynamic players in Patrick Kane and Artemi Panarin, sixth in the NHL in scoring and on the power play. The Blackhawks are 54-14 against a team with a winning percentage below .400. Chicago has won two of its last three games, with both wins by more than a goal. Take Chicago to win by two.
