Two storied rivals will provide the backdrop for a legendary hockey broadcaster's final regular-season game.

Bob Cole will call the April 6 matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens for his last broadcast before the playoffs, as well as five other additional games, Sportsnet announced Tuesday.

The Leafs-Canadiens tilt will take place on the final Saturday night of the regular season.

Cole was originally only scheduled to work through 2018, with two more games on tap in December. Here are the remaining games he'll call, including the half-dozen new assignments in 2019:
