The Toronto Maple Leafs have been playing some pretty good hockey lately. The power play is heating back up and the team has been climbing up into the top five in expected goals and real goals — and that’s both from a top-notch offense and a stifling defense.

The trouble is it’s hard to have confidence in this group even after strong performances because of thing or another adding another tick in the loss column.
