The Toronto Maple Leafs have won six consecutive games, and it is one of those times where they haven’t looked as good as their record is suggesting.
21 games into the season, Toronto has the third most points in the league behind Tampa Bay and St. Louis. They are tied for second in goal differential, second in goals for, and 16th in goals against. Digging a little deeper, they are 20th in shots on goal per game and allow the sixth most shots per game; on average, they get outshot by three shots per game. The Leafs‘ strength of schedule so far ranks as fifth hardest in the league.
