""It's just getting engaged more in the game. Like, he's got to get dirty down low in the offensive zone, win battles and get more engaged that way, when he's skating and moving he is an effective player," Berube said."
""But it's too inconsistent.""
The Toronto Maple Leafs enter December with a 12-11-3 record amid injuries and inconsistent play but remain within reach of a playoff spot. Thirteen December games provide an opportunity to climb a tight Eastern Conference. A 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers left Toronto three points behind Detroit for third in the Atlantic with a game in hand. The franchise has reached the playoffs nine consecutive seasons, making a rebound plausible if key players improve. Max Domi was healthy scratched after an early slump, sitting a team-worst -12 with three goals and eight points in 24 games, appearing on pace for his weakest offensive season since 2020-21.
