Watch Toronto Maple Leafs vs Chicago Blackhawks Live Online

Following a rough home loss to Minnesota, the Leafs attempt to continue their march back to playoff contention against the Hawks, who are looking for their third straight win. This will be the only meeting of the season for the Hawks and Leafs. Chicago won the lone matchup last year, a 5-4 overtime affair at the Air Canada Centre on Nov. 22, 2008.

After a start to the season that was about as difficult as it was long, Toronto has suddenly begun to climb up the standings. The Leafs still sit seven points out of the East's top eight, but before their loss to Minnesota on Tuesday the Leafs had collected points in seven straight games. With more than three-fourths of the season yet to be played, Toronto has more than enough time to make its disastrous start a distant memory.

Coming off three straight losses on the road, Chicago is happy to be home -- and it shows. The Hawks are coming off impressive wins over Los Angeles and Northwest division-leading Colorado. It is likely no coincidence that these wins coincided with the return of captain Jonathan Toews. The Winnipeg native has a point in both games since missing more than two weeks with a concussion.
