Former NHL head coach Bruce Boudreau shared his thoughts on the Toronto Maple Leafs' performance and playoff expectations on NHL Network on Thursday. He praised the Leafs for their depth and strong defense and that they were able to win without key players.
“They just went 7-2 without Matthews, Knies, Pacioretty, Jarnkrok, Reaves. They had seven players missing and still went 7-2 in that stretch. They are deep, they’re good,” Boudreau said (starting at 8:45).
William Nylander leads with 16 goals. Mitch Marner has 27 assists and 36 points. Auston Matthews, back from injury, scored two goals in a win over the Predators and has three in the last two games.
