Maple Leafs lineup tonight: Toronto’s projected lineup for game against the Columbus Blue Jackets | Jan. 22 2025

Modified Jan 22, 2025 12:30 GMT

Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to make it four in a row after a 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday. Across from them on the ice tonight, however, will be a hungry Columbus Blue Jackets team eager to snap a two-game skid after rattling off six straight wins earlier in the month.

Toronto has proven to be one of the best teams in the league so far this season, and despite some early jockeying for position, the franchise has been sitting atop the Atlantic Division for some time now.

Meanwhile, after a slow start to the season for the Blue Jackets following the tragic death of Johnny Gaudreau, the team has found their rhythm, climbing the Metropolitan Division's standings while fighting for a wild-card spot in the postseason.
