Analyzing Recent Performances


The Toronto Maple Leafs have shown a mix of outcomes in their recent games, displaying both resilience and areas needing improvement. In their last three matches, they've secured one win against Minnesota Wild but faced setbacks against Ottawa Senators and Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite these challenges, there are positive takeaways such as their ability to maintain a strong faceoff win percentage and generate scoring opportunities. However, converting these chances into goals has been a struggle, as seen in their low shooting percentage across these games.


On the defensive end, goaltending has been solid with high save percentages indicating strong performances between the pipes. Yet, this hasn't always translated into wins due to lapses that allowed opponents scoring opportunities during critical moments.
