Toronto Maple Leafs shift home game time to accommodate Toronto sports fans, offering a doubleheader with Blue Jays’ playoff game. The time change, moving the game against the Detroit Red Wings to 2 p.m. on Monday, was announced by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) in a media release on Friday. The move aims to prevent a scheduling conflict with the Blue Jays’ ALCS Game 2, which will start either at 4:38 p.m. or 5:03 p.m., depending on the outcome of the other ALDS game. Keith Pelley, President & CEO of MLSE, expressed excitement in supporting fans during the Blue Jays’ playoff run. After the Leafs’ game, fans can remain at Scotiabank Arena to watch the Blue Jays’ game on the venue’s videoboard. The Blue Jays will first face the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners in Game 1 on Sunday at 8:08 p.m. ET/5:08 p.m. PT, airing on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
