The Leafs last game was an away game on January 12 against the Detroit Red Wings, which Toronto lost by a score of 4-1. The Leafs have a record of 26-10-7 so far. The Boston Bruins last played at home on January 12 against the Seattle Kraken. The Bruins lost by a score of 3-0, and their current league record is 32-5-4. The team we love to hate the…

Stop me if you have heard this one before: Exiting the holiday break, the Toronto Maple Leafs are well- positioned in the NHL standings and are starting to build a resume of what looks like a Stanley Cup contender. You could have stopped me in most of the seasons under Kyle Dubas' watch, to be sure. Toronto has had a knack for dominating the…

The Toronto Maple Leafs' defence is looking like Swiss cheese going into tonight's game against the streaking New Jersey Devils, at the Prudential Center, starting at 7 p.m. ET. Yesterday came the news that Morgan Rielly is going to be out long-term after sustaining a knee injury in a collision with the New York Islanders' Kyle Palmieri during New…

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Arizona Coyotes face off tonight in the desert for Auston Matthews' first return against the Coyotes in over a year. Watching Matthews play in Arizona is always a treat, and definitely should be an interesting game tonight for the Leafs as they continue their tear in the midst of a long road trip. This will be the fifth…

The notion that never seemed to make sense in the big picture: The idea of the always reserved O.G. Anunoby growing into an NBA star of any kind. He has been the quiet man playing his quiet game in an overly noisy NBA for years. He doesn't say much for attribution. He doesn't care to create controversy on social media or anywhere else. He even…

The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Pittsburgh Penguins prepare to face off while being on opposite ends of the Eastern Conference. While Pittsburgh have only won two of its previous ten games and have a 6-6-3 record, the Maple Leafs have an 8-5-3 record. The next game will be important for both clubs as they are both trying to advance in their…

Roster updates: D Jake Muzzin is out indefinitely due to a cervical spine injury. His status will be re-evaluated in late February. D TJ Brodie has been placed on injured reserve (oblique injury). D Mac Hollowell and F Pontus Holmberg have been recalled from @TorontoMarlies. - Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) November 14, 2022 First and foremost, let's hope for…

The Penguins have been on thin ice lately, and in brutal form against a Leafs team that's been limiting shots of late, Pittsburgh might not be able to overcome its own blue-line injuries. Find out why with our NHL picks. Fresh off snapping a seven-game losing skid, the Pittsburgh Penguins roll into Toronto Friday night to take on the Maple Leafs,…

Fresh off snapping a seven-game losing skid, the Pittsburgh Penguins roll into Toronto Friday night to take on the Maple Leafs, as both clubs will be playing the first game of a back-to-back. The Leafs are dealing with issues in net, while the Penguins have some serious injury concerns on the blue line - but that doesn't mean we're going to see a…

This season has been a disaster thus far for the Maple Leafs and their offense. Now they must face a Flyers team that has found new life under Torts. Our NHL betting picks break down the matchup and gives you our favorite play, find out more below! The Toronto Maple Leafs are riding a four-game losing streak, playing their first game home after a…

Let this much be said: The Toronto Maple Leafs are not playing favourites in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes. So far they've lost to the Montreal Canadiens, Arizona Coyotes and now the San Jose Sharks, teams that will all be closer to the bottom rather than the top of the NHL standings by the time April comes. They'll be clutching lottery tickets…

In net, the whole position was obviously an unknown. Jack Campbell was an unrestricted free agent and Petr Mrazek was coming off of a nightmare first season in Toronto. Both are in the other conference now. Logically, betting on any two goalies in the league that have flashed ability/shown some form of extended success in their careers to better…

While the star players remain the same, the Leafs added two new goaltenders, plenty of depth forwards, and will now benefit from a full season of Mark Giordano. On paper, this team looks as strong as ever. Toronto's dominant top line is back. Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and Michael Bunting finished second, fifth, and seventh in points last…

Coles Notes on the notable storylines for tonight: Rasmus Sandin will make his preseason debut and is in line for a lot of all-situations minutes while taking his reps on the right side, which he may need to show an aptitude for this season if he's going to play every night; Denis Malgin and Nick Robertson will flank Pontus Holmberg as all three…

The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to snap an unwanted streak of first-round playoff exits in 2022-23, and heading into the campaign, there's optimism that this could be the year they make a run. The Maple Leafs have plenty of star talent, yet whether it be due to tough first-round matchups or key players failing to show up, they have not made it…

This season Nick Robertson cracks the Leafs lineup as a regular and will be on a scoring line with Tavares and Nylander. The only way Robertson is pushed out of the lineup is if a trade for Patrick Kane happens near the NHL trade deadline with Robertson likely traded as part of a package deal for Kane. First pair Morgan Rielly - TJ Brodie Second…

But the major questions that will swirl around and shape the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2022-23 season are readily available to debate, even as we wait one more week for training camp to begin. Here's a glance at the big-picture storylines set to unfold over the winter and - maybe, just maybe - deep into spring. Will the double-down gamble on goaltending…

The team is currently just about at the upper limit of the salary cap with Rasmus Sandin still to sign. There is little doubt that a trade will happen prior to the start of the season; it's only a matter of when. While any player could be traded in theory, let's not waste our time worrying about any potential blockbuster that has a 0.1% chance of…

Our feature grading the positional depth of each NHL team continues this week, with a focus on the blueline. If you missed our prior talent tiers, they are referenced below - please check them out. Our approach to grading defencemen will be similar, but not identical to the way we evaluated forwards. We overweight top-four defenders - for most…
