While the slumping Toronto Maple Leafs sense a level of urgency amid a four-game losing streak, coach Craig Berube insists the club is not going to panic.

Toronto is without captain Auston Matthews (lower body) entering Saturday's visit to the Chicago Blackhawks, and goaltender Anthony Stolarz is day-to-day, but the Maple Leafs feel confident they can regroup.

Two defeats during the skid have been by one goal, including Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Los Angeles.

"There's lots of hockey left, but that doesn't mean you don't take any game for granted," Toronto forward John Tavares said. "They all mean the same. The more games that go by, there is less runway. We're not even at the quarter mark yet.

"It has been a grind for us. We have to get the other parts of our game going here."
