There is one statistic the Toronto Maple Leafs are terrible at this season, and it’s shocking that I haven’t heard anyone else talking about.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are among the worst teams in the NHL when it comes to giveaways. The team currently has the third most giveaways in the NHL this season with 424 giveaways. The Leafs trail only the Montreal Canadiens (the last place team in the NHL) with 462 giveaways and the Anaheim Ducks with 434 giveaways. (Stats from moneypuck.com)
What’s even worse is that most of their giveaways are in the defensive zone.
