Toronto Leads Division! | Will the Leafs Finish Strong?

The Toronto Maple Leafs have taken a slight lead in the division with just eight games to go, but their recent stretch has been a mix of highs and frustrations. They've won five of their last seven, powered by Max Domi’s emergence as a key contributor, William Nylander’s continued brilliance, Auston Matthews getting back to form, and Brandon Carlo providing steady defense.

We preview Wednesday’s game against Florida—a potential playoff matchup—and break down how the Leafs stack up against possible first-round opponents. Can they finish strong and lock down the division?
