"The Leafs' 10-game streak of taking at least one point has been ended by a painful 6-1 loss to the Utah Mammoth in Salt Lake City on Tuesday night. The Leafs, who were 8-0-2 before the Utah blowout, hadn't lost in regulation since December 21. The hot streak moved Toronto into a wildcard playoff spot for the first time in the better part of the season."
"The team is on a four-game road trip, which will all be played in six days, before heading back to Toronto. The Avalanche are first overall in the Western Division and the league, which is why the 4-3 overtime Leafs victory was so impressive, and somewhat surprising. The win snapped the Avalanche's 17-game home win stretch. Toronto played a complete, well-rounded game from all ends of the roster, so it's possible the hard-fought game simply burned out the team."
