Auston Matthews is two goals from 60 on the season, though he’s on a season-long five-game goal-scoring slump. Mitch Marner is three points away from his first 100-point season.
In the bigger picture, the Leafs are one point away from clinching home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
As much as the Leafs would like to put a check mark beside all those things, they would also like to get to the playoffs as healthy as possible. “You have to play 82 games. That’s what the schedule says,” Keefe said. “You try to do all that you can to keep your players healthy, but you still have to be competitive and play the games.”
Bunting was the latest to fall. The rookie-of-the-year candidate didn’t finish Saturday’s game against Florida after an awkward fall that might have hurt his leg or ankle. And while there was no official prognosis, the Leafs believe he will be back for the playoffs.
