The Toronto Maple Leafs record to begin the 2021 season is nothing short of spectacular.
With a 7-2-1 record, the Toronto Maple Leafs are leading not only the Canadian Division, but also the entire NHL (tied with Washington and Philadelphia). By virtue of their six regulation wins, the Leafs are technically the NHL’s best team.
