UNITED CENTER FACEOFF: 7 p.m. TV: CBC RADIO: TSN 1050 KEY MATCHUP Toews/Kane vs. Matthews/Marner It was nine years ago this fall that

Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane began their rookie seasons with the Blackhawks. And you know how the rise began. As 19-year-olds playing for a franchise that had missed the playoffs eight of the previous nine seasons, Kane and Toews finished first and third in voting for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. And a mere two years later, in their third season together, they were lifting their first of three Cups. Maple Leafs fans can only hope they’re seeing a reasonable facsimile of those beginnings, as Auston Matthews and

Mitch Marner, both 19 and full of promise, make their first NHL trip to the Madhouse on Madison. UP NEXT Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay, 7:30 p.m. Dave Feschuk
