Auston Matthews hasn't taken off (and is now hurt), but the Leafs maintain a positive +4 goal differential, showing improvement in various aspects of their game.
The power play this season has actively hurt the Leafs, clicking at just 14.59 percent overall, contrasting sharply with last season's 29.6 percent start.
Despite a slow start, the Leafs' improved goaltending has been a key factor for their positive goal differential and overall better performance.
Winning the division is crucial for the Leafs, as it creates an easier playoff path in a competitive division.
