After a string of strong performances, the Toronto Maple Leafs currently hold third place in the Atlantic Division with 95 points, with a slim chance of moving up to second place and an outside possibility of contending for the division title.

Nevertheless, the Maple Leafs have secured a playoff berth heading into the final weeks of the NHL regular season, even if it hasn’t been mathematically confirmed yet.

The team’s offense has been exceptionally productive, led by Auston Matthews who recently scored his 60th goal of the season. Despite facing some defensive challenges due to injuries, the team has managed to hold its own on the back end.

In fact, the Leafs have been dealing with significant injury issues, with three out of their six regular defensemen missing in their last two games.

On a positive note, the goaltending situation seems to have stabilized, with both Ilya Samsonov and Joseph Woll performing well in recent weeks. This gives the team a potentially strong goaltending tandem as they approach the playoffs.

However, despite these positive developments, there are still some notable concerns looming for the Maple Leafs as they prepare for their postseason journey. Below, we’ll explore three key areas of potential worry for the team as the regular season draws to a close.
