"The Toronto Maple Leafs are one step closer to finishing in the bottom 5 of the standings and giving themselves best possible odds to keep their first-round pick this season and sacrifice an unprotected 2028 first-round pick instead."
"It was a rough night for Anthony Stolarz before anybody else, allowing three goals on the San Jose Sharks' first 11 shots. Although he tightened up and finished with a respectable 22-save performance on 25 shots, the team once again didn't have the juice to compete with the Sharks."
"With the Florida Panthers winning and both the Seattle Kraken and Winnipeg Jets losing, the Maple Leafs are tied with the Panthers with 77 points apiece and remain one point up on the Jets and two points up on the Kraken, sitting three points out of the top-five."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are nearing a bottom-five finish in the standings, which would improve their odds of keeping their first-round pick this season. In a recent game against the San Jose Sharks, the Maple Leafs struggled, with Anthony Stolarz allowing three goals early on. John Tavares scored the only goal for the team. The Maple Leafs are currently tied with the Florida Panthers at 77 points, just outside the top five. They will face the Los Angeles Kings next, aiming to play for pride.
