Bobby McMann praised William Nylander's goal-scoring prowess after Nylander netted three goals, edging closer to a career-best of 40. McMann highlighted Nylander's unique shooting technique that confuses goalies, underscoring the Maple Leafs' dependence on their star players as they dominate the scoring sheet. Toronto's top six scorers have accounted for a staggering 76.4% of the team's total goals this season, leaving little support from others as they head into the playoffs.

Despite their success, the Maple Leafs face challenges due to a lack of depth scoring, with only a few players outside the top six contributing meaningfully. The weight of expectation is heavy on the stars, as they will need to maintain their performance to ensure a deep playoff run, especially given statistical trends that show no recent Cup champions boasted such a top-heavy scoring distribution.

In a strong showing, the Toronto Maple Leafs triumphed over the Seattle Kraken with a score of 3-1, led by goalie Anthony Stolarz who made 26 saves in his first start since December. The Leafs' offensive efforts were spearheaded by Philippe Myers, Bobby McMann, and Matthew Knies, with Knies extending his goal streak to three games. Eeli Tolvanen managed to spoil Stolarz's shutout bid with a goal in the third period for the Kraken, who struggled to maintain momentum after a recent comeback against Detroit.

Toronto's victory marks their third consecutive win, and they successfully killed all five of Seattle's power plays. Myers opened the scoring for the Leafs early in the first period, followed by a power-play goal from McMann. Despite Seattle's prior rally, they failed to capitalize, continuing a disappointing trend of allowing multiple goals in the first period over their last three games.

William Nylander scored three goals, achieving his second career hat trick, leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. John Tavares, Bobby McMann, and Matthew Knies contributed additional goals, while Auston Matthews registered three assists. Toronto now sits one point behind the Atlantic Division-leading Florida Panthers. Joseph Woll made 23 saves in net.

Calgary's offense included goals from Matt Coronato, Yegor Sharangovich, and Joel Farabee, with Dustin Wolf saving 24 shots. Calgary started the game just ahead of Vancouver for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.

Despite a slow start with two disallowed goals, the Maple Leafs regained control in the second period, with McMann's pivotal goal sealing the game's outcome.

William Nylander scored his second career hat trick, leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-3 victory over the Calgary Flames, marking a sweep in Alberta. Nylander has nine goals in his last eight games, bringing his season total to 33, placing him second in the NHL behind Leon Draisaitl of the Edmonton Oilers who has 37. Other scorers for Toronto included John Tavares, Bobby McMann, and Matthew Knies, while Auston Matthews contributed three assists. The Maple Leafs now sit just one point behind the Atlantic Division-leading Florida Panthers, with two games in hand.

Calgary's goals came from Matt Coronato, Yegor Sharangovich, and Joel Farabee, who scored his first as a Flame. The Flames currently hold a precarious position in the playoff race, sitting two points ahead of the Vancouver Canucks for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. Joseph Woll earned his 19th win of the season, and rookie Dustin Wolf fell to 19-10-2.

Matthew Knies and Mitch Marner each contributed a goal and an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs edged the Edmonton Oilers 4-3, breaking a three-game losing streak. Alongside them, William Nylander and Bobby McMann found the back of the net, while Auston Matthews provided two assists. Joseph Woll stood strong in goal, stopping 45 shots, while Stuart Skinner halted 24 for the Oilers. Notable was Nylander's milestone of 30 goals this season, marking his fourth consecutive season hitting this mark.

Defensively, Evan Bouchard's ninth goal was a highlight for the Oilers, as he became their second-fastest defenseman to reach 50 career goals. Despite a late scare when Leon Draisaitl thought he had tied the game, a successful offside challenge thwarted Edmonton's momentum. With this victory, Toronto has maintained dominance over Edmonton, boasting a 12-2-2 record in their last 16 matchups.
