NHL Power Rankings: Eastern Conference Still Crowds Top 10
By George Clifford

No. 23: Toronto Maple Leafs
Previous: 19th
Season record: 10-8-4 (24 points)
With six players in the top 27 in rookie scoring, the Maple Leafs have one of the most prolific groups of first-year players over the past 25 years. Mitch Marner (19), Auston Matthews (18), and William Nylander (16) lead the freshman class with a combined 53 points, and seven Toronto players have scored at least 12 points this season.
Sporting a minus-1 goal differential, the Maple Leafs will need to improve play on the other side of the puck. Starting goalie Frederik Andersen has been average with a record of 10-6-3 and 2.92 goals-against average.
