The Toronto Maple Leafs have been in rough shape since the start of the season. Sure, the goals are arriving from the likes of captain Auston Matthews and William Nylander, but the team's defense has been shoddy at best. It's hard to win games without solid defensive effort. Their recent stretch to the 2025-26 season has seen them hit a five-game losing streak.
