"Despite a strong 9-1-3 run over the past thirteen games, the Toronto Maple Leafs remain on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, a reflection of just how competitive the Atlantic Division has become. Toronto's surge has brought them to the edge of a playoff spot, currently third in the wild-card race. Yet, the Leafs have been unable to gain much in the standings as several division rivals continue their own hot streaks, leaving the Maple Leafs with little help from the out-of-town scoreboard."
"The Maple Leafs just finished an important road trip with a come-from-behind 4-3 overtime win over the Winnipeg Jets. That game bookended an identical 4-3 overtime victory over the league-leading Colorado Avalanche that started the trip on Monday. The Leafs collected five of a possible eight points over the four road games, but it wasn't enough for them to jump into one of the wild-card positions or close the gap on the top three teams in the Atlantic."
The Toronto Maple Leafs have gone 9-1-3 over their past thirteen games yet remain outside the Eastern Conference playoff positions. The team sits third in the wild‑card race despite a recent road trip that began with a 4-3 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche and ended with a 4-3 overtime come-from-behind victory over the Winnipeg Jets. The Leafs collected five of eight possible points on that four-game trip but failed to move into a wild‑card spot. The Atlantic Division's strength, with several teams posting higher points percentages, limits Toronto's margin for error.
