Maple Leafs’ Playoff Hopes Slip Away as Bruins’ Latest Point Shakes Up NHL Standings
That additional point means the Leafs were pushed further down to six points out the second wild card spot. They went into Monday’s action down five points out of a playoff spot. It turns out that had the Bruins won the game, it wouldn’t have impacted the Leafs’ deficit at all, since the Montreal Canadiens would have moved down to the second wild card position ahead of the Leafs by the same six points.
The Leafs certainly have their work cut out for them with five games remaining before the NHL schedule pauses for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
