The Maple Leafs hit the road for a rare Sunday tilt against the Florida Panthers in the sunshine state. The Panthers currently sit just one spot behind the Maple Leafs in the Atlanta Division standings, racking up 48 points this season compared to the Leafs' 56 points thus far. The Maple Leafs look to turn things around as they dropped their last contest 3-2 at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets. January has been a rocky month for the boys in blue, going 2-3 over the first two weeks of the new year.

The Toronto Maple Leafs look to continue their winning ways as they look to extend their win streak to six games against the visiting Dallas Stars. The Stars have been under-achievers all season long, but that doesn't mean that they can be taken lightly. The Stars still feature a bevy of superstar talent including Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. The Maple Leafs will be without first line winger Kasperi Kapanen as he continues to deal with effects of a mild concussion suffered earlier in the week. Dymtro Timashov will take his spot in the lineup as coach Mike Babcock shuffles his lines.
