FFKL - News » straight heading into a seven-game trip. The Blackhawks

The Toronto Maple Leafs were feeling good about a season-best six-game winning streak, but that ended with back-to-back losses against Carolina and Philadelphia this week. The task doesnt get any easier with a visit to Jonathan Toews and the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. What we need to realize in that streak where we were winning, we were working for the full 60 minutes, said center Peter Holland, who scored after having an assist in each of his previous two games. It wasnt just happening by fluke. The Leafs now prepare to hit the road, where theyve lost three of four. Were not far removed from playing some really good hockey, Holland said. We dropped two games in a row, thats going to happen over the course of a season. We just need to make sure that were ready to respond and play solid road games. Holland scored the winner 2:21 into the third period of a 3-2 home victory over Chicago on Nov. 1. Toronto has won the last two meetings after dropping eight in a row. James Reimer made 45 saves against the Blackhawks last month, and he could be in net again after coming on Saturday for 10-plus minutes in relief of Jonathan Bernier, who has started the last three games. Corey Crawford returned Saturday with 17 saves after missing Chicagos previous eight with an ankle injury suffered when he fell at a concert. Crawford stopped 24 shots in the first meeting with Toronto, and Quenneville could elect to start his No. 1 goaltender on back-to-back nights due to the amount of time hes had off. Antti Raanta has won his last four starts with a 2.00 goals-against average and would get the nod if Crawford doesnt start. Jonathan Toews and the Blackhawks have come a long way since their early struggles, putting together a hot stretch that has lasted over a month. Chicago seeks its eighth consecutive home victory Sunday night against a Toronto club that has lost two straight heading into a seven-game trip. The Blackhawks (22-9-2) werent pleased with their 6-5-1 start as they struggled to find their scoring touch with each defeat coming by a single goal. Theyve bounced back nicely and ran off a season-best eight straight victories while winning 10 of 11 before falling 3-2 in a shootout at Columbus on Saturday. Chicago dominated a good portion of that contest, though, and outshot the Blue Jackets 41-19. I thought we did everything but win that game, coach Joel Quenneville said. We played well in all areas of the game and did a lot of good things. Toews called the loss unfortunate, but wasnt upset with the effort - something he couldnt always say early on. Only two of their defeats have come by more than one goal. We believe were a good team (and) we should be in every game, Toews said. Its the sign of a mature team, something we didnt do enough of early in the year. We know we have some firepower and when its a close game, more often than not we can find a way to win.
