The Toronto Maple Leafs are off tonight, but they are the NHL’s hottest team, having won 18 of their last 21 games, amassing a record of 18-2-1 in the process.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have won two in a row, three of four, and have points in four of their last six.
The insane run has seen Auston Matthews emerge as a Hart Trophy front runner, while Jack Campbell should and likely would win the Vezina if the season ended today. On top of that, Campbell would certainly get some Hart Trophy votes, and Morgan Rielly would be an early favorite for the Norris if Cale Makar hadn’t already won it.
