Vancouver has hit the skids, and the Canucks are in danger of moving below the playoff cut line as they have lost four in a row, including two shutouts. The Canucks lost 2-0 at Carolina last night, and now they have to play on consecutive nights. Vancouver scored only five goals during the streak, and four came in one game against Montreal. Toronto has won five of six, although it looks to bounce back after a 6-3 loss against the Hurricanes on Thursday. Goalie Dennis Hildeby was recalled from the AHL and he is expected to start for Toronto. Hildeby has made three starts for the Maple Leafs this season, and he had 66 saves in his last two games with their AHL affiliate. Vancouver has lost seven of eight road games, and Toronto has lost 14-1 in the past 15 meetings at home. Take the Maple Leafs.
