Auston Matthews seeks his third consecutive two-point performance to start the season when the Toronto Maple Leafs visit the unbeaten Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday in a matchup of Original Six teams. The 2017 Calder Trophy winner has recorded half of Toronto's six goals this campaign after netting a tally and setting up another in Saturday's 5-3 home loss to Ottawa.

The Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings each came away feeling disappointed in their respective season openers, although both teams managed to pick up one point. Both will look to rebound from overtime defeats and get into the victory column when the Red Wings open a two-game West Coast trip against the Kings on Sunday.
