The Colorado Avalanche sent the Maple Leafs to their sixth-straight loss on Tuesday night, as former-Leaf Darcy Tucker and his mates downed Toronto 4-1 at the Air Canada Centre.
While their parent teams battled Thursday, the Toronto Marlies and Hamilton Bulldogs open their respective AHL seasons Sunday afternoon (4 p.m. ET) at Ricoh Coliseum. Both teams will look to improve on last year's earlier post-season exits.
