"Savard coached the power play, which has been one of the team's biggest areas of weakness this season, as they currently are ranked last in the league at 13.3 per cent. Despite having a selection of some of the league's top scorers, the power play unit has not been able to produce all season, but specifically in recent weeks. The Leafs are currently 15-5-5 and are last in the Atlantic Division, and have shown an embarrassing display of effort in their most recent games."
"Not only have the Leafs been outplayed and outscored in each of these games, but they also managed to lose by shutout to the Washington Capitals last Thursday. The Leafs have not scored zero goals in a game in almost a year; their last shutout loss was against the Vancouver Cannucks on January 12, 2025. The Toronto power play has been disastrous. They tried to adjust their power play units, moving players up and down, but to no avail."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are demanding change after a collapse in form that has left the team last in the Atlantic Division with a 15-5-5 record and a league-worst 13.3% power play. Marc Savard, who coached the power play since joining alongside head coach Craig Berube in June 2024, appears likely to be dismissed after a 0-for-10 power-play stretch over the last three games and consecutive losses to Dallas, Nashville and Washington. The Leafs were shut out by Washington, their first shutout loss since January 12, 2025. Berube's job security has weakened and a new head coach could be sought if improvements do not follow.
