The Toronto Maple Leafs Using Stars on the PK Could be Huge

The Toronto Maple Leafs are known for their offense. This is a top-heavy team that will win or lose based on the performance of five key players (no order of significance): Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares and Morgan Rielly.

Note that four of those players are forwards, which tells you a lot about the Toronto Maple Leafs.

They consistently have one of the best power plays in the NHL, but when playoff time comes, the Leafs problem has, for the last two years, been scoring, ironically enough.

One of the biggest differences between how head coach Sheldon Keefe, who has been an underrated bench boss, has deployed those players this year is on the penalty kill.
