The Toronto Maple Leafs have been killing their competition in the North Division this year, despite a slow start from one of their top wingers.

Ilya Mikheyev started the season on the third line with Alex Kerfoot and Zach Hyman but has been promoted to the second-unit with William Nylander and John Tavares due to injuries.
