Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been strong contenders for the Stanley Cup in recent years, but have consistently fallen short as the pressure mounts in the competitive hockey market. Despite boasting a top offensive group last season, the team struggled defensively, ranking in the top 10 for goals allowed. They need to strike a balance in order to reach their full potential this year. In the season opener, the Maple Leafs lost 1-0 to the Montreal Canadiens despite a strong effort, with goalie Anthony Stolarz making 26 saves. With a power ranking of 14, Toronto is aiming to improve on their 0-1 start to the season and showcase their strengths as one of the top away teams in the league.
