The Toronto Maple Leafs currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference at 35-17-8 and, thanks to their electric offense, are considered a Stanley Cup contender. To truly emerge from the rest of the pack, however, the team still has upgrades to make on the defensive side of the puck.
The team is 13th in the NHL in terms of goals against per game. The team is allowing 3.15 per outing and while they have the offensive firepower to still win games despite giving up those scores, it will be difficult to continue that clip in the postseason and ultimately get where they want to go.
