WATCH Lightning vs. Maple Leafs Live Stream Online: NHL 2016 Division Rivals, Playoff Rankings

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

The Tampa Bay Lightning battle it out on the ice against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Week 21 of the regular season on Monday, February 29 at 7:30 p.m. EST from the Air Canada Centre. 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 in mid-season, Tampa Bay maintains a rather impressive top spot in Joe Mcdonald's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Toronto remains at the very bottom (out of a total 30 teams):

Lightning (4): "Tampa is proving it no longer has difficulty playing against Boston. On Sunday, the Lightning defeated the Bruins 4-1 at TD Garden. It was Tampa's sixth straight win. It also helps that captain Steven Stamkos is in the midst of a six-game goal streak."     

Record: 36-22-4 (2nd in Atlantic Division)

Maple Leafs (30): "The selling continues as the Leafs sent goalie James Reimer and forward Jeremy Mortin to the Sharks in exchange for goalie Alex Stalock, forward Ben Smith and a fourth-round pick in 2018."     

Record: 21-29-10 (8th in Atlantic Division).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels TSN4, TVA, and SunS.
