Here’s the thing with Game 1 lineups: They’re just that — Game 1 lineups. They might change by Game 2....
Toronto also had the chance to formally lock in a playoff spot by earning a point. Those factors made the game feel more consequential than many the Maple Leafs have played lately, but it didn’t result in a superlative effort....
The Leafs were in control of the first two periods, getting goals from three of their four forward lines. Nick Robertson and Auston Matthews secured the 2-0 lead after the opening period. Brandon Montour cut the Panthers’ deficit in half with his seventh 47 seconds into the middle frame, but Tyler Bertuzzi, David Kämpf and...
Matthews, who became only the ninth player ever to score 60 goals in multiple seasons over the weekend, has played in 553 regular-season games for the Leafs. He’s scored in 270 of them. In other words, Matthews has scored at least once, remarkably, in almost 50 percent (48.8 percent officially) of the games he’s played....
The last time Ilya Samsonov had walked out of KeyBank Center in Buffalo, it was easy to wonder if he was walking away from the Toronto Maple Leafs and possibly his NHL future. His face grew longer with every step into the December cold after allowing five goals in just over 28 minutes of play as part of a Leafs 9-3 loss to the...

Early in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 6-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday, it looked like it was a matter of time until they’d break out and distance themselves from their opponents....
Joseph Woll launched himself back into the conversation for top spot in the Maple Leafs crease on Sunday night....
There’s always something to look forward to when the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers face each other. These are two teams with Stanley Cup aspirations who have some of the best players in the league. On paper, the Leafs are at a disadvantage, missing three of their top nine forwards in Mitch Marner, Tyler Bertuzzi and...
Now that’s how you start a game....
Within the first five minutes of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, it seemed like things were not going to go their way....
It feels like the Toronto Maple Leafs have lost games, or leads, late in regulation a lot this season, hasn’t it?...
I was very concerned about the Sweat and Reddick trade rumors, but this at least gives me a little peace of mind. I’m sure Reddick has a few more solid years ahead of him, but I get wanting to look for younger talent. Seems like Reddick is almost certainly going somewhere else for the season.
