GAMEDAY: In Buffalo, Maple Leafs Can Set Franchise Record for Road Wins If…
The Toronto Maple Leafs roll into Buffalo tonight with history on the line. A victory against the Sabres would give the Leafs their 26th road win of the season, setting a new franchise record for road victories in a single campaign. Toronto has been dominant away from home all year, combining explosive offense with resilient goaltending. Led by Auston Matthews, who continues to chase 70 goals, the Leafs are peaking at just the right time heading into the playoffs.
But beating Buffalo won’t come easy. The Sabres are young, fast, and looking to play spoiler as their season winds down. Toronto will need to stay disciplined defensively and avoid the kind of mistakes that have cost them against lower-ranked teams before. Ilya Samsonov is expected to get the start in net, and his recent resurgence could be key in securing the milestone.
The Leafs have already clinched a playoff spot, but milestones like this matter. A win tonight not only breaks a record—it sets the tone. With just a few games left before the postseason, Toronto has a chance to show they’re not just playoff-bound, but ready to make real noise when they get there.
