PREVIEW:
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins both realize they can't afford to lose many more games.
Toronto looks to win consecutive contests for the first time in over a month, while Boston tries to end a five-game skid in a matchup of teams struggling to remain in the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.
The Leafs are tied for 10th in the East with the New York Islanders, while Boston's losing streak has dropped it to 13th in the conference.
"There's so much at stake for us," captain Mat Sundin said. "We have to make sure to help out and keep the puck out of our net. We've done that a lot better the last three games."
