Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Toronto Maple Leafs, live stream, channel, preview, time, how to watch the NHL Playoffs

The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs will kick off their playoff series on Tuesday night with Game 1 at Scotiabank Arena. This will be the second consecutive season that the Lightning and the Maple Leafs will play in the first round of the NHL Playoffs.

The Lightning struggled at the end of the regular season which has caused some concern, only winning one game in their final five and going 4-8 in their last 12 games. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs won their final five games of the regular season and will look to bring that momentum into this series.
