By Mick Kern Verified| SiriusXM Canada Verified We’re just past the halfway mark of Winter, and that’s traditionally when the National Hockey League takes a breather from the regular season, and attention turns to the annual NHL All-Star Game. Not this time around. As enjoyable as the All-Star Festivities were this time last year in Toronto, the NHL has seen fit to change things up considerably this season, most likely in large part to stoke anticipation for the league’s return to the Winter Olympics 12 months from now.
By Mick Kern Verified| SiriusXM Canada Verified While the Maple Leafs handled life pretty well without sniper Auston Matthews (out of the lineup due to injury), having him back is nice. He finally scored his first goal since returning in a recent 4-1 win over the Blackhawks, then added two more in a 3-2 win over Nashville. Tonight, Toronto is in Pittsburgh to face a Penguins franchise that is still trying to determine which direction they’re headed in.
