After losing to the Detroit Red Wings at home on Wednesday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs now have a 7-9 record in extra time this year, which could end up being the difference in making the playoffs.

Through 50 games, the Leafs have had 22 games decided by one goal. On one hand you could argue that playing so many tight games will help them down the stretch, while on the other hand, it shows that this team isn't a dominant offensive force anymore.
