Maple Leafs Hotstove · Keefe’s refreshing lineup calls, record w/o Rielly & Bettman affirms suspension – MLHS Pod. Ep. 59
Nick Ashbourne: The Leafs are fortunate that the Morgan Rielly suspension coincided with a marshmallow part of the schedule. Going into it, I thought the Leafs should be expected to get seven points out of the five games (STL x2, Anaheim, Philadelphia, and Arizona) at the very least based on the schedule. Even with Rielly gone, I still didn’t think the floor was too low. I thought maybe they would get five in the worst case, but now, potentially, they can get all 10 points.
