Leafs Notebook: The recent adjustments on the PK, Pontus Holmberg at center, Ilya Samsonov’s impressive turnaround, and Mitch Marner’s lineup spot once healthy

Earlier today, I examined the issues plaguing the Leafs’ 30th-ranked power play in the month of March. Let’s now dive into the rest of the notebook.

Notes

– Ilya Lyubushkin has played in 11 games since the Leafs reacquired him. He’s been on for 52.25 percent of shot attempts and 59.71 percent of expected goals, and he’s up 8-4 in actual goals at 5v5. He has played with either Morgan Rielly or TJ Brodie, averaging 16:35 and picking up three assists in those 11 games.
