Monday’s game in Toronto between the Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings will move from a 4 p.m. start time to 2 p.m. ET to accommodate Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.
The hometown Blue Jays will host the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre in a best-of-seven series that begins on Sunday night. They also play Monday night before the series shifts to Seattle.
First pitch for Game 1 on Sunday is set for 8:03 p.m., but the game time for Monday had yet to be set as of early Saturday afternoon.
Monday is Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
Fans who attend the Maple Leafs’ game at Scotiabank Arena will be allowed to remain in their seats and stay to watch the ALCS broadcast on the in-arena video board.
This is the first ALCS appearance for the Blue Jays since losing in that round in back-to-back seasons in 2015 and 2016.
