The Toronto Maple Leafs are edging closer to clinching their first Atlantic Division title after a solid 4-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes, with just two games left in the regular season. Joseph Woll's outstanding goalkeeping, stopping 25 of 26 shots, has been crucial during this stretch. William Nylander scored his 45th goal, while Auston Matthews is just one goal shy of hitting the 400-mark, which would make him the sixth-fastest player to reach that milestone in NHL history.

The Leafs need just one point from their final two games against the Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings to secure their spot in the playoffs. The prospect of facing the Ottawa Senators in a rematch is generating excitement among fans. Throughout the game, the Leafs showed resilience by scoring three goals despite being outshot early on. The team’s defensive effort was highlighted by their shot-blocking capabilities, indicating their readiness for the playoffs.
