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.
The 2025-2026 season is an especially interesting season coming up, as no one truly knows what to expect from the Blueshirts in their first year under Mike Sullivan. A 105 point season seems genuinely not insane, but a 75 point season also feels genuinely not insane. The reality is somewhere in the middle, likely a bottom-tier playoff team as the Blueshirts adjust.
