81% Informative

The Toronto Maple Leafs have pulled up their skate laces on the defensive side of the game and if present trends continue, they’re going to be among the stingiest teams in the Eastern Conference at five-on-five once the season is done.

Overall, the Leafs were 11th in goals against in the NHL before games on Sunday , a jump of 10 spots from when they finished 21st in 2023-24 .

Executing on offence and putting the puck in the net has been another story.

Cowan now has a 58 -game point streak in the Ontario Hockey League going back to November 2023 .

Cowan hasn’t had a big offensive outburst in any game, recording two points in eight games and one point in 14 .

This is the first season the Leafs have been shut out twice at home since 2018-19 .
