How to Watch Lightning vs Maple Leafs (Dec. 8): Stream NHL Live, TV Channel

The division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning aim to snap a losing skid as the road trip opens in Ontario against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.

Atlantic Division foes meet for the first time this season, as the Tampa Bay Lightning skate into Scotiabank Arena to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday looking for their first win in December as their four-game road trip begins. The Maple Leafs started the season with injury concerns and an uninspiring 9-10-3 mark, but have since won four of their last six games as they begin to climb out of the cellar in the division and build for a playoff run. Toronto has won four consecutive games in this series with three of the four wins coming by two or more goals.
