Since the beginning of Auston Matthews' career, he has been known for one thing, and that is goal scoring. Ever since his debut in Ottawa, where he scored four goals, everyone knew he had a special scoring touch and would easily establish himself as one of the lethal scores in the NHL. Matthews did not disappoint, winning multiple Rocket Richard Trophies, a Hart Trophy, the Calder Memorial Trophy, multiple 60-goal seasons, and a new franchise record. Matthews has always had t

The Toronto Maple Leafs have gotten a number of key contributions from their depth this season. Bobby McMann, Nicholas Robertson, Easton Cowan, and Scott Laughton have all been spectacular for the Maple Leafs this season, but the one person nobody has been talking about is Nicolas Roy. Roy has played a crucial role for the Maple Leafs this season, playing critical minutes on the team's third line. A deal that changed the NHL The Maple Leafs acquired Nic Roy during the offseas

The Toronto Maple Leafs need to make quick decisions before it's too late. The Leafs have had a rocky season to date, but have begun to catch fire and show us why they won the Atlantic Division just one season ago. Brad Treliving doesn't want to throw in the white towel, despite being on the outside of the playoffs, and wants to bolster their roster to try and go on a deep playoff run. If the Maple Leafs want to improve their roster, they need to do so before it's too late. L

The Toronto Maple Leafs came back late and defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in overtime. Scott Laughton scored a late tying goal against his former team to power the Maple Leafs to the win. Easton Cowan ripped one past Vladar in the overtime frame to win the game for the Maple Leafs. A late comeback win means a lot to a Maple Leafs team that is sitting just on the outside looking into the playoff race. A win like this not only keeps momentum, but it builds momentum. Stell

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a busy offseason with the departure of a superstar and depth forwards. The Maple Leafs had a lot of decisions to make. They attempted to bring in a plethora of depth forwards; some have worked out, while others may not. However, the Maple Leafs made one mistake, and that was not re-signing a player who left for a divisional rival. The Maple Leafs did not re-sign Pontus Holmberg, which may end up costing them. When Brad Treliving did not sign Holmbe

The Toronto Maple Leafs hired Derek Lalonde on June 6th, 2025, after Lane Lambert left to become the head coach of the Seattle Kraken. Lambert had done an exceptional job with the Maple Leafs' defensive core, turning them into a top-five group in the NHL. When Lambert left to go to the Kraken, the Maple Leafs had a hole to fix. Enter Lalonde. Shaky NHL career Many people were skeptical of the hire. Nobody was sure how it would go. He had done a good job with the Tampa Bay Lig

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been playing better hockey as of late, winning five of their last seven games. As the Trade Deadline approaches in two months, players will start to become available depending on whether teams want to sell or buy. Brad Treliving has made it very clear that the Maple Leafs are buyers despite being on the outside looking in with half of the season remaining. Schenn was reportedly targeted by the Maple Leafs last season, but a deal never came to frui

The Toronto Maple Leafs got a jolt of energy Tuesday night from the return of Brandon Carlo. The Maple Leafs defeated the Florida Panthers 4-1, while Carlo helped stabilize the defence core, and gave Morgan Rielly some much-needed help on the blueline. Tuesday night’s win was one of the most complete performances Toronto has put together all season. Even without William Nylander in the lineup, the Maple Leafs controlled the pace and rarely let Florida find sustained momentum.

Back on March 7, 2025, the Toronto Maple Leafs made one of the biggest deadline moves of the season: they traded forward Fraser Minten, along with a 2026 first-round pick (top five protected) and a 2025 fourth-round pick, to the Boston Bruins in exchange for veteran defenseman Brandon Carlo. Carlo arrived in Toronto to help improve a solid defensive core, offering size, shutdown ability, and penalty-kill experience. At the time, the thinking was straightforward: Toronto neede

The Maple Leafs have received good news on the injury front, as netminder Anthony Stolarz has returned to on-ice practice alongside defenceman Dakota Mermis and forward William Nylander. This is a huge progression for this trio of players as Stolarz hasn't skated since November 11th, while Mermis has been out of commission since December 8th. Nylander hasn't played in the Maple Leafs' lineup in the last four contests. Progressing in the right direction Stolarz, who was injure

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a critical matchup ahead of themselves as they faceoff against the Florida Panthers. Toronto defeated Florida 4–1 earlier this season, but this meeting carries far greater weight. Every game from here on out matters for the Maple Leafs, yet this one stands out as a true four-point game. Atlantic Division matchups always carry extra importance, and this contest could significantly shift the standings. A four-point game with playoff hopes The Maple

Toronto Maple Leafs former 1st round pick Ben Danford will leave the IIHF World Junior Championship with some hardware, as Canada captured the bronze medal to close out the tournament. Team Canada was able to end their medal-less streak, beating Team Finland 6-3. Danford met expectations After losing to Team Czechia Sunday night in a back-and-forth contest 6-4, Team Canada came back against the Fins. Danford had a tournament that everyone expected. The Maple Leafs’ 2024 first

The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed their star winger, William Nylander, on IR. Nylander's injury is retroactive to December 27, as he was injured in the second period during the 7-5 Leafs win over the Ottawa Senators. Nylander's injury occurred during an awkward play with Sens defenceman Artem Zub behind Ottawa's net. Nylander has missed the last four games with a lower-body injury. Nylander's injury progression William Nylander had looked to be progressing well, but it seem

The Toronto Maple Leafs first half struggles have stemmed well beyond effort or injuries. While the number of injuries the Maple Leafs have suffered has not helped, it hasn't been the root cause. To see them on the outside looking in, the Leafs have competed hard, played structured hockey at times, and stolen points they arguably shouldn’t have. They have gotten key contributions from players you wouldn't expect, but still sit towards the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Eff

Morgan Rielly has had a disappointing year with the Maple Leafs, to say the least. Expectations were high for the 30-year-old defenceman, after coming off a rough year last year, many would have believed that Rielly would have a bounce-back year heading into 2025-26. However, that is far from the truth, as his struggles have gotten worse throughout the season. Rielly is no longer capable of being a top-line defenceman. Rielly's disastrous season This entire season has been a

During Saturday night's 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe exited the game in the third period and did not return. Following the loss, head coach Craig Berube said he would undergo testing and wasn't sure of the severity of the injury. If McCabe were to miss an extended period of time, or frankly, any time, it could be the end of the Maple Leafs' season. McCabe's injury is cause for concern for the Maple Leafs Jake McCabe

The Toronto Maple Leafs can't make a similar mistake they have made in the past with Easton Cowan. Nicholas Robertson was a player whom the Maple Leafs had mismanaged from the beginning of his career. Robertson, who had an outstanding junior career, was unable to translate this to the NHL. Cowan has seen similar success in junior, but the Maple Leafs can't waste his potential. Junior success for Robertson Nick Robertson's junior and AHL career was nothing but spectacular. Rob

Auston Matthews passed franchise legend Mats Sundin for the all-time Maple Leafs goal-scoring record with 421 goals on Saturday night. Matthews tied the all-time lead at first, then later in the second period took over the franchise lead. Auston Matthews has been on fire for the Maple Leafs as of late, with five goals in his last five periods. What makes Matthews so impressive is how many games it took to overtake Mats Sundin. Auston Matthews passed Sundin in just 664 games.

Matt Benning is set to make his Toronto Maple Leafs debut Saturday against the New York Islanders. Benning will replace Philippe Myers and play alongside Simon Benoit. Troy Stecher will move up to the first pairing with Morgan Rielly. The rest of the Maple Leafs' lineup will remain the same as on Thursday night. Matt Benning providing some veteran leadership on the Leafs' blue line Matt Benning is nearing 500 career games in the NHL, as he sits 36 games away. A good stretch w

The Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled with injuries all season long, which has contributed to their shaky first half of the season. Once the Maple Leafs looked to be healthy once again, the injury bug hit them big time. Auston Matthews was forced to miss a game, but luckily returned for Thursday night's win over the struggling Winnipeg Jets. Chris Tanev, after just returning for a few games, is forced to miss another extended period of time due to a lower-body injury. Dakota
