Leafs and Ducks Face Off in Exciting Rematch
The Toronto Maple Leafs visit Anaheim for a 10:00 PM puck drop at Honda Center. Broadcasts include TVAS, SNO, Victory+ and KCOP-13. Fans expect Leafs and Ducks Face Off in Exciting Rematch under bright California lights.
Recent form
Toronto last played on March 28 at St. Louis. The Leafs lost 5-1 in regulation. Their record sits at 31-30-13 for a 0.507 points percentage.
Anaheim also played on March 28, in Edmonton. The Ducks fell 4-2 in regulation. They enter with a 41-28-4 mark and a 0.589 points percentage.
Standings and playoff context
Florida moved into fifth-to-last in the standings after the Blues beat Toronto. The Panthers sit at a 0.500 points percentage, a pace for 82 points if maintained.
The Leafs would finish with 81 points only if they collect at most six points in their remaining eight games. That requires a 0.375 points pace. Since the Olympics, Toronto has a 0.353 rate.
Several western teams are jockeying for position. Los Angeles, Nashville and Seattle are in a close race for wild-card spots by points percentage. LA and Seattle carry a 0.521 points rate. Nashville is at 0.520.
Calgary projects toward about 78 or 79 points if current form holds. San Jose won its most recent game but appears unlikely to climb into contention.
Notable oddities
The Ducks lead the Pacific Division despite a negative goal differential. That remains a curious stat this season. It underscores how tight some divisions have become.
