Flyers Face Another Seattle Slump as Toronto Rivalry Reaches New Low
The Maple Leafs are not having their typical success that you’ve come to expect from Toronto. For the year, the team is just 27-24-9. At home, they have been better, but they are 16-16 overall when you factor in the overtime losses. They are in dead last for the Atlantic Division and have just 63 points this year. For a team with a guy, Auston Matthews, who is considered one of the best players in the game, it is fairly sad. Just looking at the stats alone, it feels like the problem is the defense. The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.45 goals allowed per game on almost 32 shots per game. That’s almost five more shots allowed than they are taking. Since they have returned to action, they have allowed opponents to score at least four goals in all three games and have lost all three. They have only mustered five goals on offense while the team has allowed 14 goals. Tonight the hope is that Anthony Stolarz can give them some relief, but he is allowing 3.51 goals per game, so I don’t have that much hope for them.Â
