The Maple Leafs have a chance to end the race for the Atlantic Division before it even really starts.
The Toronto Maple Leafs had a great regular season last year and made it a fourth straight season with 100 or more points, but it was the first time they would win the Atlantic Division as it is today. They got off to a great start to defending their division title with a dominant 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens to open the season.
