No. 3: Jack Campbell 11-0 Start

If you were to ask a majority of Toronto Maple Leafs fans, prior to the season, about their wish for goaltending, they probably would have said the following: “I want the Leafs to play Freddie Andersen 60 percent of the time and Jack Campbell 40 percent of the time, so that Andersen is fresh and healthy for the playoffs.”

Fast-forward five months later and some fans don’t even want Andersen to be on the roster anymore.

Campbell has been spectacular all season, but his winning streak to start the year is one of the highlights. After being a back-up for most of his career and almost being considered a “bust,” Toronto has been the perfect fit for him.

After starting his first game on January 16, it took all the way until April 12 for Campbell to finally lose a start.

In that timeframe, Campbell won his first 11 games, which resulted in an NHL record for most consecutive wins to start a season.

Campbell’s had a lot of ups and downs during his career, but it feels like he’s found a home in Toronto and is here to stay. Hopefully he can recoup that winning streak in the playoffs and help Toronto win a few playoff series and make it to the Stanley Cup.
