Tue Mar 11 03:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Maple Leafs Aim to Snap Losing Streak Against Utah Hockey Club

**Salt Lake City, UT** – The Toronto Maple Leafs (38-22-3), currently on a three-game losing streak, face a crucial matchup against the Utah Hockey Club (28-25-10) on Monday at 10 p.m. ET. A loss would extend their winless streak to four games and further solidify their four-point deficit behind the first-place Florida Panthers in the Atlantic Division.

The Leafs will be looking to contain Utah’s star player, Clayton Keller, who boasts 72 points on the season and 15 points in his last nine games. Despite Keller’s impressive overall stats, he has only one goal against Toronto in 12 career games.

Toronto goalie Joseph Woll will start after being pulled in his last game, an experience he described as a valuable learning opportunity. Calle Jarnkrok returns to the Leafs lineup after being scratched in their previous game, while Nick Robertson will be scratched. Chris Tanev remains out with an upper-body injury.

Utah, in their inaugural season in Salt Lake City, has also experienced recent struggles, losing two of their last three games. However, they benefit from the strong penalty-killing contributions of former Leaf Alex Kerfoot. Utah goalie Karel Vejmelka will start.

The Leafs are 10th in the league on the power play (24.1%), while Utah sits just behind them at 11th (23.6%). Utah’s penalty kill, boosted by Kerfoot, ranks 9th at 81.2%.

Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube confirmed that Anthony Stolarz will be in net for Thursday’s game against the Florida Panthers. Utah recalled goalie Jaxson Stauber from the AHL after Connor Ingram entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program.

The Leafs will be hoping to end their road trip on a positive note and regain momentum before their upcoming four-game home stand. Morgan Rielly commented on the team’s determination to break the losing streak. The game will be broadcast on Sportsnet Ontario and TSN 1050.
