Six in Five: Leafs are overdrawn at the points bank

The Toronto Maple Leafs have played 15 games, so it’s time to check in on the six points in five games pace.

Never go to California.

Even by using all the savings created in the first section the Leafs are two points behind the pace. Wait. Only two? That doesn’t sound like a disaster they can’t recover from.

Their current points pace puts them at 88 total points, not the 98 the six in five pace gives you, but at this point in the season a few points one way or the other loom large when you start multiplying and using phrases like “on pace for”.

Which way is that line going to go next? Up, and how high? Or is it just going to flatline like the Arizona Coyotes and the Leafs will never win another…
