All Kyle Dubas wanted was consistent play for Christmas and he got that in the month of December.
Between December 7 and December 28, the Leafs won eight of their nine games making fans ecstatic. Everyone was talking about how Sheldon Keefe saved the season and that his up-beat coaching style was exactly what this team needed.
Heading into the New Year, things looked really good. Their team defense looked great and they were scoring at will.
Good:
- Everything? Plan the parade, the Leafs are back! In terms of a specific player, Mitch Marner had a tremendous month with 19 points in 12 games.
Bad:
- Injuries piled up in December: Jake Muzzin broke his foot, Andreas Johnsson went on LTIR with a leg injury, and Ilya Mikheyev suffered a significant wrist laceration.
Fun Fact of the Month:
- Michael Hutchinson finally recorded his first win as a Maple Leaf this month! Hutchinson was victorious in a 4-1 win against Detroit on December 21.
