Hockey night in Canada takes place in Toronto on Saturday when the struggling Oilers meet the struggling Leafs at the Air Canada Center. Toronto has lost 11 in a row and things have certainly gone south for a team that started off the year on such nice roll. The Oilers meanwhile have struggled all year. Something has to give here and this looks like an excellent spot for the Leafs to finally break this awful streak.

Here are my keys to the game:

Leafs dominance over Oilers- The Oilers have not found it smooth sailing in a lot of places the past three seasons and Toronto is no exception. The Leafs are 11-4 versus the Oilers at home since the late 90's and won all two meetings there the past three seasons.

Oilers' struggles on the road- Edmonton is just 5-13-7 on the road this season. The Leafs have been awful of late but a lot of these games have been on the road. Toronto is 15-11 in home games this season and has probably really looked forward to this game coming up.

X-Factor- Hockey Night in Canada has not been kind to the Oilers. Edmonton is 1-5 in the big nationally televised game this season.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Maple Leafs. (8*)
