From: Toronto Maple Leafs’ 92-point projection leaves little room in a crowded race - Nov 5, 2026 ->The New York Islanders are 7-7 with a 40–50% playoff band and a 94-point projection. Their record is close to Toronto’s, but the model gives them a higher outlook. The Ottawa Senators have a stronger 10-7 start and the same 40–50% band, also projecting to 94 points. Those are the clearest nearby benchmarks for the Leafs: Toronto needs to turn games into wins to close a two-point projected gap.
