With hockey on the horizon again, the MapleLeafs now have their sights fixed on a five-game qualifying series against the BlueJacketsNHL. EmmySadler brings you up to speed as the Leafs approach Phase 3’s training camp ahead of a resumption of play ⤵️
both returned to the lineup just before the season stoppage, bolstering the Maple Leafs’ banged-up blue line. Rielly’s first game back was Toronto’s last game on March 10, while Ceci made his return just one game earlier on March 6.The Russian rookie’s exciting breakout campaign came to a sudden and scary halt in December when he suffered a wrist laceration that sent him to the hospital and called for a projected recovery period of about three months.
Jake Muzzin says he's fortunate to have reached his contract extension with the Maple Leafs "before all this happened."The forward underwent right knee surgery on Feb. 19, considered season-ending at the time given his six-month recovery estimate. Unfortunately for the Leafs, that initial timeline means that even with the lengthy stoppage, he still won’t quite be ready to join the team for training camp.
A strong playoffs for Barrie would go a long way for the Maple Leafs, whose defence has long been a weakness that has historically been exposed during the playoffs. Having another two-way rearguard who can quickly change the pace of a game from their own zone adds another dimension when they need it most.
Let’s rewind to last season for a minute, when the Maple Leafs went into the playoffs with a penalty kill percentage very close to what it is today: 79.9 per cent. The Leafs then managed a measly 56.3 per cent success rate on the penalty kill against the Bruins last spring, killing just nine of Boston’s 16 power plays, and were even worse at home: Toronto killed just 28.6 per cent of their penalties at Scotiabank Arena.
