The Toronto Maple Leafs 10 goals in their last eight games shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. The Leafs have enough offensively gifted players in the lineup every game. They should be scoring on the powerplay on a regular basis.
In 71 games played this season, the Leafs have scored 43 goals on the powerplay. Their powerplay is 4th best in the NHL right now, behind Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and Winnipeg.
However, when you break down those 43 goals between the two powerplay units that Mike Babcock deploys every night, there’s a pretty wide margin between them, and it’s probably not what you’d expect.
