Since their last meeting, the Leafs have gone on a 14-1-4 run and have climbed to within three points of the Boston Bruins in the Atlantic Division
In that contest at the Honda Center on Oct. 30, Toronto blew a 3-1 lead before it lost in overtime to a club that had gone winless for seven games.
“Certainly now we are in a different place than we were when we left California,” Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe said following practice on Monday at the Ford Performance Centre. The Ducks and Maple Leafs renew hostilities again on Tuesday at Scotiabank Arena. “We have talked about that as we are starting to get healthy here now. We don’t want to lose what we have gained in terms of our mindset.”
After shutting out two opponents in a row, the Maple Leafs were nicked for four goals on Saturday by the Flames but went on to win in overtime on a goal by Mitch Marner.“As a coach you would love not to have those kinds of games,” Keefe said. “You would love to be sharp but the reality is that ones where you are not can creep back in.
