For the leaves to get to the magical 95-point cutoff they need to get 48 points from their last 34 games (1.41 Points per game). That's akin to win+OTL-rate equivalent to 115 points over an 82 game season. Last year only Anaheim and the Bruins got that over the whole season. Up until now, only Anaheim has that run-rate (though Nashville are close).Strangelove wrote:^^^ Thanks Dave, it’s beautiful!
Notice the Leaves high-point was on December 16 after beating the Ducks 6-2 (95.22% chance of P/Os)
Now, I’m not one to honk my own horn, but I think it important to point out:

They're doing well because 20 of their 30 games thus far have been at home.
They're doing well because they lead the league in PP opportunities at home (by a huge margin).
Starting now their schedule gets tougher.
The annual fall of the Leaves will begin any time now.
They will very likely miss the playoffs.
...
Did I mention they're gonna miss the playoffs?
The Canucks on the other hand are looking reasonably comfortable. They can afford to play as badly as Toronto has so far and they will still make it into the playoffs.
