While the manner in which the Maple Leafs got here might be a little surprising – missing nearly half their forward group for an extended period already – it’s no real surprise to see them firmly inside the top 10 league-wide in points percentage (currently seventh).
It is mildly surprising that ranking seventh overall in that department is good enough to place them first in the Atlantic. In an Atlantic Division that has produced four of the past six Presidents’ Trophy winners, it is a huge swing and perhaps indicates the division is as vulnerable as it’s ever been in this era.
