Since that result, Toronto took a 3-2 defeat at home against the Utah Mammoth followed by a 4-2 home loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
Chicago continues to look for traction, holding a 4-13-1 record while winless in six consecutive games (0-5-1). The Blackhawks have dropped five straight decisions in regulation, most recently falling 9-2 on the road against the Carolina Hurricanes after a 4-1 loss at the Tampa Bay Lightning. Chicago has allowed four or more goals in each of its last five contests.
Tuesday marks the first meeting between Toronto and Chicago this season. With both sides working through recent skids, each team aims to reverse its momentum as the Maple Leafs try to climb above the .500 mark and the Blackhawks seek their fifth victory of the year.
