TSN analyst Bruce Boudreau spoke about the Toronto Maple Leafs winning five games in a row. The ex-Capitals coach believes that the Maple Leafs can still improve to another level. The Atlantic Division leaders (27-13-2) have opened up a six-point gap from the Florida Panthers at the top of the table.
Speaking with Jay Conrait, the host of TSN’s Sportscentre, on Tuesday, Boudreau said that Toronto is adapting to their coach, Craig Berube, who implemented a new play style for the team this season. The Maple Leafs have also been struck by injuries to some of their top players — Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Mitch Marner and William Nylander — though some are starting to get healthy and return to the ice.
“Auston Matthews has got seven points in the last three games, all wins by the Leafs,” Boudreau said. “By the way, Tavares gets his 20th. The Big Four are rolling. Matthew, Knies. You can go down the list of the players and look at the injuries they've overcome. They're not even 100% healthy yet.”
