Toronto was joined overseas by Detroit, Ottawa and Minnesota, with each team playing two games in Stokholm between Thursday and Sunday.
As for the Leafs, their games both went down as away matchups on their schedule, they received an off day between their two games, and they just-so-happened to face the Red Wings and the Wild in the second game of the back-to-backs.
The Ottawa Senators broadcast crew noted that the schedule was likely made with the idea that Toronto is the more widely recognized team of the group, an Original 6 team that tends to bring in strong revenue for the league.
