The New Jersey Devils are red hot and the Ottawa Senators are bottoming out.
Meanwhile, after four players scored 50 goals last season, seven players are on pace to reach that milestone.
Either way, the Leafs have the second-best record in the Atlantic Division. With all that has gone wrong, it’s quite the accomplishment.The chances of seeing Barry Trotz behind the bench in Toronto have decreased since the first month of the season. But that doesn’t mean we won’t see the out-of-work head coach back in the NHL sometime soon.
While GM Pierre Dorion has repeatedly said head coach DJ Smith’s job is safe, you have to wonder if Trotz’s availability would change that. After all, with the resume he has, you can bet he’s not going to be unemployed for much longer.THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK It’s a stunning turnaround. But considering they’ve had four top-5 picks in the past six years — including two No. 1 overall selections — it’s also been a long time coming. The Kraken have also made a similar jump, going from 30th overall in their expansion season to seventh overall, mostly due to the play of Calder Trophy favourite Matty Beniers and off-season acquisition Andre Burakovsky .
At that pace, Crosby would finish the season with 110 points — the 35-year-old’s highest total since he scored 120 points in his second year in the league.
