Points

For the Leafs playoff points leader, Matthews finally finds himself on top with 34 points in 32 games played in total, making him the only one on the team to average more than a point a game in the playoffs since 2020.

It proves once again why he is a game-changer for Toronto whenever the postseason rolls around. Trailing just slightly behind by four points is Marner with 30. Despite many believing that he cannot handle as much of the toughness and tight checking in the playoffs, Marner has proven some of his doubters wrong as he can rise to the occasion and still produce the way he has throughout the regular season.

Penalty Minutes

For this category, it may be either a good or bad thing that two of the top three leaders in penalty minutes are now no longer with the Maple Leafs anymore.

Pierre Engvall, who is now helping the New York Islanders in their quest for the Cup this year, leads with a total of 26 PIM, with the beloved Justin Holl in third with 23 PIM.

So either the Leafs are severely missing their toughness, or they took too many bad penalties back then so they are probably better off without them. As a result, it makes Morgan Rielly of all people and his 25 PIM now the current active leader for the Leafs since 2020. 

Power Play Points

With the Leafs often struggling with the man advantage once playoff time hits, the dynamic duo of Matthews and Marner still manage to lead the charge the past four years and counting with 11 power play points apiece.

Nylander comes in right behind them with 8 power play points, so one can see having him back in the lineup could potentially be a huge difference maker for the Leafs, since he also already leads the team in playoff goals.
