The Toronto Maple Leafs need a win against the Chicago Blackhawks, although their lineup for tonight's game is going to make things difficult.
With the Toronto Maple Leafs in the midst of a catastrophic losing streak, there are some fans who are feeling pretty desperate right now.
Overall, the team needs to start winning. If they don't, then they can forget about making the playoffs. For all intents and purposes, this season has been a disappointment.
Tonight, the Leafs play the Chicago Blackhawks, and it is being considered a must-win. However, the Leafs are without guys like Auston Matthews and Scott Laughton.
Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Chicago Blackhawks
Joseph Woll will be the starter, but when you look at the lineup, you can tell that it is completely disjointed, and quite frankly, not very good.
Nick Robertson, John Tavares, and William Nylander are on the first line, while the second line consists of Nicolas Roy, Sammy Blais, and Easton Cowan.
The third line is a mix of Matias Maccelli, Max Domi, and Bobby McMann, with the fourth line consisting of Dakota Joshua, Steven Lorentz, and Calle Jarnkrok.

Maccelli - Domi - McMann

Whether or not this lineup is enough to win still very much remains to be seen. If one thing is for certain, it is that fans are feeling anxious.
At some point, the Leafs need to actually win a game here. If they don't, then there are going to be a lot of angry supporters.
A five-game losing streak would be nothing short of disastrous, and we wonder if it would force the front office into a drastic move.
