The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a mixed performance recently, going 1-1-1 in their last three games. Key player Auston Matthews is still not at his best, and the power play continues to struggle. The team is adapting to a more physical style of play under coach Craig Berube, which may be impacting their offensive capabilities.
With upcoming changes as Connor Dewar and Jani Hakanpää return from AHL assignments, the Leafs face the Boston Bruins next. Player rankings highlight William Nylander's scoring streak and Mitch Marner's resurgence after a goal drought, while others like Matthew Knies and Jake McCabe are making notable contributions.
