5-Game Process: The more things change edition

The Toronto Maple Leafs have played 40 games, so it’s time to check in on their five-game points pace. They have 54 points right now, and that means they’re at 1.35, an hair of a decrease from last time when it was 1.37. To put that in perspective, they’re one win or two points off of the 1.4 points per game pace.

So far in the standard five-game chunks, they’ve never dipped below the “just make the playoffs” mark of six points.

Last year, the Leafs didn’t get to 54 points until game 46, so they are well ahead of that historic year.
