Leafs turning it on Playing SpoilerThe Toronto Maple Leafs have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL since the Olympic Break. The Leafs have won 6 of their last 7 games, including the last 2 in shoot outs and 4 of the wins overall have come in extra time. The youngsters on the Leafs are playing for jobs next year, and a lot of them are making a case to be on the team. Possibly the player playing the best for them is Tyler Bozak, who is looking like a bonafide NHL number one center in the past few weeks.
Bozak and Phil Kessel have developed great chemistry together, and both have been great since they were put on the same line. Jonas Gustavsson has won his last 5 starts, and J.S Giguere has looked solid as well since Head Coach Ron Wilson decided to alternate goalies each game. Next action for the Leafs (26-34-12) is this coming Tuesday night when they will welcome the Florida Panthers (29-31-11) to the ACC.
