Going 0-3 in their last three games against California’s teams really put a dent in the Toronto Maple Leafs playoff hopes. The Leafs only picked up three points out of a possible 10 points in their last five games as well.
The team currently sits one point out of the second Eastern wild card spot and four points out of the third Atlantic spot heading into Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings. The Leafs have 18 games remaining in the regular season. If they have any aspirations in making the playoffs, they have to really pick up their efforts.
