Oh it's so close. The Leafs would be playing tonight but the schedule has them bumped to Thursday, so we have one more night to dream about eliminating the Lightning before it can actually, possibly, maybe, hopefully happen.
In the meantime, another team can be eliminated tonight:
Florida Panthers @ Boston Bruins
Bruins lead series 3-1
7:00 p.m.
Watch on: CBC, SN, TVAS, ESPN, NESN, BSFL
And the other series will have a tie-breaker:
Seattle Kraken @ Colorado Avalanche
Series tied 2-2
9:30 p.m.
Watch on: SN, TVAS, ESPN, ALT, ROOT-NW
ICYMI
Here's what else we wrote about today:
A reminder that the Marlies playoffs start tomorrow night too. They will face the Utica Comets in a best-of-five series which will start here in Toronto, with the second game on Saturday.
So let's enjoy a rare second night off together, and see who may or may not become the Leafs future second round opponent.
