Jess SheltonTue, January 13, 2026 at 2:00 AM UTC·1 min readAfter securing a shutout against the Columbus Blue Jackets this past Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to town. This will be the first of two regular-season matchups between these two teams.
Colorado Avalanche (33-4-7)
The Avs continued their dominance at home to start this home-stand, winning 8-2 over the Ottawa Senators and 4-0 over the Blue Jackets to extend their home win streak to 17 games. Tonight, they’ll look to keep that streak alive against a surging Maple Leafs team, who suddenly find themselves just one point out of a playoff soot after being dead last in the NHL for a good bit.

Toronto Maple Leafs (22-15-7)
Despite a less-than-ideal, to say the least, start to the season, the Leafs have fought all the way back from being at the bottom of the league, and now find themselves just one point out of a wild card spot, as previously mentioned. While this team has had a fall from grace this year, this is still a very good Maple Leafs team that can definitely score, and Colorado will have to mind that here tonight.
