On Friday, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to make it three in a row when they face off with the Buffalo Sabres in a rematch from Sunday. The last time these two teams played, Toronto edged out a 5-3 win, which they built on with a 5-3 win over the Dallas Stars on Wednesday.
While Toronto is carrying plenty of momentum, Buffalo is in the midst of an 11-game losing streak that most recently saw them drop a 6-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. source

It is.
Leafs really phoning it in this period. First of a back to back, so I get it, but still…
