"Per an NHL press release on Tuesday afternoon, the Capitals' game on April 8 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, scheduled for 7:30 pm ET at Scotiabank Arena, will now be broadcast locally on Monumental Sports Network and no longer air on TNT. In Canada, the game will still air on Sportsnet and TVA Sports."
"According to MoneyPuck, the two teams are near locks to miss the playoffs as the Capitals have a 6 percent chance of making the postseason, while the Maple Leafs are at 0 percent. The Leafs also just lost superstar Auston Matthews to a season-ending injury after Radko Gudas delivered him a knee-on-knee hit."
"The Buffalo Sabres' matchup against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden will replace Caps-Leafs on the network. The 41-20-6 Sabres (88 points) lead the Atlantic Division, and are battling the Carolina Hurricanes (90 points) for the top seed in the Eastern Conference."
The Washington Capitals' disappointing season has led to their April 8 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs being removed from national television on TNT and moved to local broadcast on Monumental Sports Network. Both teams have virtually no playoff chances, with the Capitals at 6 percent and the Maple Leafs at 0 percent according to MoneyPuck. The Maple Leafs' situation worsened after losing superstar Auston Matthews to a season-ending injury. The Buffalo Sabres versus New York Rangers matchup will replace the Capitals-Maple Leafs game on TNT. Buffalo has emerged as a top Eastern Conference contender, leading the Atlantic Division with an impressive 30-6-2 record since December 9.
