The Toronto Maple Leafs Still Have Eye on The Playoffs as They Face Pittsburgh

As the season winds down in the NHL The Toronto Maple leafs still believe that they can make the hockey payoffs. They will have to get by the injury prone Pittsburgh Penguins if they want to stay on track for a postseason berth.

BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NHL and they have the latest oddson all the NHL games for the regular season and the playoffs.

the Leafs are within striking distance of their first playoff spot since 2004, but coach Ron Wilson knows the bigger picture is much more complicated.

The team the Leafs have an eye on now is the eighth-place Carolina Hurricanes. But if the Canes win just 10 more games, less than half of their remaining schedule, Toronto would need at least 13 of its remaining 21 to be regulation wins, and it also would need to get some overtime points and pray that Buffalo, Atlanta, Florida and New Jersey -- teams just ahead or right behind the Leafs in the standings -- conk out.

After beating the Canadiens, the Leafs have a rare Saturday-Sunday schedule: They play the Pittsburgh Penguins at home Saturday and then are at Atlanta for a a late afternoon game Sunday. The last time the Leafs played in Atlanta was also at the end of a back-to-back, but instead of being out of gas, they whomped the Thrashers 9-3. Now they need to beat the Penguins.

The Penguins are 1-5 in their last 6 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, 0-4 in their last 4 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation, and 0-4 in their last 4 vs. Eastern Conference.

The Leafs beat down the injured Pens and move closer to a playoff spot.
