WATCH Maple Leafs vs. Blackhawks Live Stream Online: NHL Best & Worst Teams 2016

Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Toronto Maple Leafs battle it out on the ice against the Chicago Blackhawks in Week 19 of the regular season on Monday, February 15 at 8:30 p.m. EST from the United Center in Illinois. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Monday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Chicago maintains an extremely impressive top spot in Pierre LeBrun's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Toronto remains at the very bottom (out of a total 30 teams):

Blackhawks (2): "The Blackhawks went down in OT to the Ducks at home on Saturday night in a potential preview of a Western Conference finals rematch in the spring."

Record: 36-18-5 (2nd in Central Division)

Maple Leafs (30): "The Maple Leafs are going all-in for a top-three pick. The only problem is that even with the league's worst active roster, Mike Babcock might still squeeze out too many wins."

Record: 20-25-9 (8th in Atlantic Division).

Tonight's monumental game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels TSN4 and CSNC.
