Earlier today, we discussed the team’s needs on defense. Let’s dive into the rest of the notebook, starting with the divisional picture.
Notes
– The only two teams currently ahead of the Maple Leafs in the Eastern Conference are the Bruins and Rangers. Winning the division is very much within reach. Boston is five points up on the Leafs with a game in hand for Toronto, and the Bruins are finally showing some signs of fallibility (5-3-2 in their last 10, and their goal differential is now a more normal +21; the Leafs’ is +16).
