The Toronto Maple Leafs have somehow won eight of their last nine games, despite being the NHL’s 32nd ranked team when it comes to actual goals scored vs goals earned.
This is great news for the Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans because unlike most hot teams, they don’t appear primed for regression. In fact, we should probably get used to seeing the Leafs at the top of the NHL standings.
Currently, they’re two points behind the Panthers, even though Florida started the year with a 9-0 record. Florida might have a game-in-hand, but the Leafs have won the exact same amount of games in regulation.
