Toronto Maple Leafs schedule release video pokes fun at Ottawa Senators

The Toronto Maple Leafs found a fun way to announce their 2026-27 schedule while taking a couple of jabs at a few Atlantic Division rivals.

The team shared a video on Thursday featuring two equipment managers sorting through the lost and found of the visitors' dressing room at Scotiabank Arena.

They stumbled upon buffalo-flavoured hot sauce, clam chowder, rats, and even a podcast mic.

"So do we have to send this to Florida now instead?" one equipment manager asks.

It's a reference to Brady Tkachuk's big offseason trade from the Ottawa Senators to the Florida Panthers, where he'll now get to play alongside his brother and co-host the Wingmen podcast, Matthew.

The pair then pack up the microphone and slap a Florida Panthers logo on the shipping box instead of an Ottawa Senators one before sending it on its way.

Toronto will play the Tkachuk brothers four times this season — twice at Scotiabank Arena, with the first on Dec. 3 and the second on March 15, 2027.

The Maple Leafs' longest road trip of the 2026-27 season is seven games between Dec. 22 and Jan. 7. 

Toronto opens the season with back-to-back home games, hosting the Montreal Canadiens on Sept. 29 before welcoming the New York Islanders to Scotiabank Arena the following night.

Another date many Maple Leafs fans will have circled is Dec. 16, when Mitch Marner returns to Toronto (for the second time) with the Vegas Golden Knights.

Marner received some heat from Leafs fans during the Golden Knights' Stanley Cup run this past season after saying there were some "dark times." 

The Maple Leafs will face each Atlantic Division opponent four times — twice at home and twice on the road. They'll play every other Eastern Conference team three times, while each Western Conference opponent will visit Toronto once and host the Leafs once.
