The injury occurred during an awkward play behind the Senators’ net involving Artem Zub. The Maple Leafs confirmed Nylander would not return to the game; the severity of the injury remains unknown. At the time of his exit, the Maple Leafs were in control of the game, holding a 5–2 lead after two periods. Nylander w

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Anthony Stolarz remains out indefinitely, with head coach Craig Berube confirming there is still no clear timeline for his return. The update is disappointing news for both fans and management, especially for a team desperately searching for stability during a turbulent season. Last season with Stolarz Stolarz was arguably the Maple Leafs’ most important player last year. He led Toronto to its first Atlantic Division title in decades and played

The Toronto Maple Leafs hit the ice Saturday night against the Ottawa Senators, and ahead of the matchup, they received some encouraging news on the injury front. Defenceman Brandon Carlo skated ahead of the team’s morning skate, marking his first appearance on the ice since undergoing foot surgery. While Carlo has not yet been cleared to return to game action, simply seeing him skating is a significant step forward for both the player and the organization. Carlo stayed on fo

One of hockey’s most storied rivalries returns Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada as the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators renew the Battle of Ontario. The rivalry’s latest chapter was written in last season’s playoff series, adding even more edge to an already heated matchup. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators face off for the first time this season since their playoff meeting last year, a series Toronto won 4–2. While the Leafs advanced, the matchup was

General manager Brad Treliving wants to be aggressive and make the Toronto Maple Leafs a better team. The Maple Leafs have struggled this season and find themselves in last place in the Atlantic Division while only sitting five points out of a spot. Although the season is not over, the Leafs have to make a decision quickly on whether they want to be a buyer or seller. With how the season has gone and the assets that they have, they could use the remainder of this season and t

The Toronto Maple Leafs fired assistant coach Marc Savard back on December 22nd, and the media finally heard from one of the players regarding this move. Following a 6-3 win over the Penguins on Tuesday night, William Nylander spoke to the media, and the answer he gave is one many wouldn't expect. The Maple Leafs' power play has been terrible this season, clicking at a mere 13%. This is good for last in the NHL. This has been shocking, as it has been a strength of the Leafs i

Team Canada will start their run at the World Juniors on Boxing Day against Team Czechia in Minnesota. The Maple Leafs will have Ben Danford representing Team Canada, and Victor Johansson representing Team Sweden. The Maple Leafs have had most of their roster perform at the World Juniors in the past. Max Domi's performance back in 2014-15 was something Canada will remember forever. Max Domi's domination Team Canada had a stacked World Juniors roster that season and cruised to

It is no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling to put the puck in the net. When their stars aren't taking over the game, it is hard for the Maple Leafs to win. Their bottom six is built upon big physical players that grind the other teams' lines to wear them out by the end of the game. Players like Dakota Joshua, Steven Lorentz, Nicolas Roy, and Bobby McMann are not going to produce goals night in and night out. However, the Maple Leafs do have Nick Roberts

The Toronto Maple Leafs enter the Christmas break in a difficult position. They sit last in the Atlantic Division and second-last in the Eastern Conference. Despite how bleak that sounds, the margin is not insurmountable. Toronto is just five points out of a Wild Card spot and six points back of a divisional playoff position. A strong two-week stretch could quickly pull the Leafs back into the postseason conversation. Changes already made General manager Brad Treliving believ

The Maple Leafs will now move forward without assistant coach Marc Savard. Savard joined the Leafs’ coaching staff in 2024 alongside Craig Berube, reuniting after the two won a Stanley Cup together with the St. Louis Blues. Before his time in Toronto, Savard also served as an assistant coach with the Washington Capitals and was the head coach of the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL. The reasoning behind the firing The firing was a straightforward move the Maple Leafs wanted to ma

The Toronto Maple Leafs finally welcomed back Chris Tanev after he missed 23 games with an upper-body injury, and his return couldn’t come at a more important time. The Leafs have struggled badly during his absence, especially defensively, and the blue line has looked disorganized, soft, and overwhelmed far too often. Tanev’s return gives Toronto something they’ve lacked for weeks: stability. What the Leafs have been missing Tanev was injured against the Flyers and has been o

The Toronto Maple Leafs still have clear holes in their lineup that are preventing them from taking the next step. While the core remains talented, this roster lacks key pieces that championship teams rely on. The good news? Those answers may already exist within the division. If the Buffalo Sabres begin to slide in the standings, new general manager Jarmo Kekäläinen could be open to making major changes. That could create an opportunity for the Maple Leafs to strike. Since t

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the middle of one of their most frustrating stretches in recent memory. Losses continue to pile up, effort levels are being questioned, and most concerning, the team’s stars are nowhere near their usual standards. That reality has sparked an uncomfortable but inevitable question: have the Maple Leafs quit on head coach Craig Berube? When a roster loaded with elite talent consistently underperforms, the focus inevitably shifts to leadership behin

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Monday evening that they have relieved assistant coach Marc Savard of his duties. Savard joined the Maple Leafs’ coaching staff ahead of the 2024 season. Head coach Craig Berube hired Savard to run the power play, which has seen success with the St. Louis Blues during their Stanley Cup run. For a franchise that once prided itself on elite special teams, this move feels less surprising than inevitable. The Maple Leafs’ Struggling Power Pl

William Nylander has endured a difficult stretch with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it has become increasingly noticeable. He has been held pointless in his last three games and simply doesn’t look like himself. Careless turnovers, inconsistent effort, and a lack of urgency have replaced the pace and confidence that defined his strong start to the season. On paper, Nylander’s numbers are respectable. Through 31 games, he has 11 goals and 25 assists for 36 points, along with a

Matias Maccelli suited up for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday for the first time in nine games. With the team searching for a spark, the Leafs inserted Maccelli into the lineup in hopes that a change could generate some offence. Acquired by Brad Treliving in the offseason from the Utah Mammoth, Maccelli’s first season in Toronto has been underwhelming so far. Finding offence with top talent Entering Saturday’s game, Maccelli had struggled to produce, recording four goals

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been anything but consistent this season. For long stretches, the team has looked disorganized, frustrated, and unsure of itself. While much of the roster has struggled to bring the same effort night after night, one player on the blue line has quietly delivered all season long. Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been the Leafs’ most reliable defenceman and is on pace for a career year. A career season at 34 At 34 years old, Ekman-Larsson is playing some of

It’s no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs have been bad this season. They sit at 15-13-5 and seventh in the Atlantic Division, far below expectations. Thursday night’s 4–0 loss to the Washington Capitals only added fuel to the fire. The Leafs looked lifeless, flat, and uninterested, and frustration has fully taken over the fanbase. From players to coaches to management, everything this organization says or does is now under a microscope. Berube Out of Answers After the emba

The Toronto Maple Leafs return to action Saturday night against the Nashville Predators, searching for answers after another discouraging loss. Thursday’s 4–0 defeat to the Washington Capitals was a breaking point. The effort wasn’t there, the execution wasn’t there, and neither the players nor head coach Craig Berube had answers when the tough questions came. For a team already sitting outside the playoff picture, that performance only added to the growing concern around the

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a complete mess right now, and the noise around the team is justified. Nothing about this group suggests urgency, pride, or even belief. The players look disengaged, and it feels like Craig Berube has lost the room. Toronto sits at 15–13–5, tied in wins with the Buffalo Sabres, which says everything about where this season has gone. Simply put, this team is not good enough to win as constructed. With the fans and management seeing disappointments t
