"The Toronto Maple Leafs had a great regular season last year and made it a fourth straight season with 100 or more points, but it was the first time they would win the Atlantic Division as it is today. They got off to a great start to defending their division title with a dominant 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens to open the season."
"When looking at the next 10 games, there is only one against a playoff team and that is a home game against the New Jersey Devils. The fact the Devils are the only playoff team, which they barely snuck in to begin with, is one of the big reasons for them to have a chance at a fast start. They have two games against the Detroit Red Wings coming up along with two games against the Buffalo Sabres in this next stretch."
The Toronto Maple Leafs finished the previous regular season with 100 or more points for a fourth straight year and captured the Atlantic Division for the first time in its current form. The team opened the new season with a 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The next 10 games are positioned to determine whether the Leafs can repeat as division champions, with seven of those games at home and five straight home games following a road game in Detroit. Only one opponent in that span made last season's playoffs (New Jersey), and several matchups are against teams the Leafs are expected to outpace, creating an opportunity to build an early lead in the division.
