It’s March, which means the season is that much closer to wrapping up. And with just 16 games remaining, the Toronto Maple Leafs are still fighting to secure their playoff spot.

It seems like the last few games of the season are always the most important, which makes March a very important month for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Playoff seedings aren’t set yet and many things can still change.

After beating Florida last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs playoff odds took a huge jump, and they are now heavily favored to make the post-season.

In fact, the Panthers are now closer to the Montreal Canadiens than they are to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Leafs haven’t secured their playoff spot yet, unlike recent years, so there’s plenty of crucial wins to be won.

Whether the Leafs fall or rise can be a matter of a few wins or losses, so let’s take a look at five important games on the Leafs schedule this month and why they’re significant.
