The Maple Leafs and Drake are swapping dates at Scotiabank Arena in October

Explaining Ilya Samsonov’s arbitration case with the Toronto Maple Leafs and why letting it get to that point is a loss for the club.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced a change to the club's pre-season schedule.

A game against the Detroit Red Wings that was originally scheduled for Oct. 6, 2023, has been rescheduled to Oct. 5, 2023. The game will start at 7 p.m. ET

The move is a direct swap with Canadian recording artist Drake, who is scheduled for two shows at Scotiabank Arena around the same time. Drake 'It's All A Blur' tour will now be playing back-to-back dates at the venue on Oct. 6 and Oct. 7.

No reason was given for the switch and all tickets purchased for the Oct. 6 game will be honored for the Oct. 5 date. 

Toronto's full pre-season schedule now reads as the following: 

Sunday, September 24 at Ottawa Canadian Tire Centre (Ottawa, ON)

Monday, September 25 vs. Ottawa Scotiabank Arena (Toronto, ON)

Wednesday, September 27 vs. Buffalo Joe Thornton Community Centre (, ON)

Friday, September 29 at Montréal Bell Centre (Montréal, QC)

Saturday, September 30 at Montréal Bell Centre (Montréal, QC)

Monday, October 2 vs. Montréal Scotiabank Arena (Toronto, ON)

Friday, October 6 vs. Detroit Scotiabank Arena (Toronto, ON)

Saturday, October 7 at Detroit Little Caesars Arena (Detroit, MI)
