Despite an inconsistent start and major injuries, the Maple Leafs remain close enough in the standings and talented enough to take control of the Atlantic Division.
The Toronto Maple Leafs currently sit sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 15-12-5 record, six points back of the first-place Detroit Red Wings. On the surface, it hasn’t been the start many expected. Inconsistency has defined much of the season, and frustration has followed. Toronto opened the year on solid footing, posting an 8-5-1 record through October, but things quickly unravelled.
