If the Toronto Maple Leafs lose Mitch Marner and/or John Tavares, will they wait to sign anyone until a name like McDavid makes his decision?

While not the prettiest at moments, due to both injury troubles and simple slumps, the Toronto Maple Leafs currently hold a three-point lead on the Tampa Bay Lightning and four point lead on the Florida Panthers for the top spot in the Atlantic Division.

Anthony Stolarz backstopped the Toronto Maple Leafs to a massive 3-2 win over their division rival Florida Panthers on Wednesday at Scotiabank Arena.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are using load management for the final 10 regular season games to keep their two star players fresh.

Anthony Stolarz won a Cup with the Panthers last season. With the Leafs, he likes what he saw in a battle of Atlantic Division rivals.

The chances aren't super high that the Stars get this done; the Stathletes projection model gives the Jets an 82.8% chance of winning the Central title, compared with 17.2% for the Stars. But by winning games that they should win against non-playoff teams -- and getting some help from Winnipeg's opponents -- they can definitely pull this off.

"Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel, Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares and St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington have been named the NHL’s "Three Stars" for the month of March presented by GEICO," the NHL announced in a press release on Tuesday.

Toronto’s top line stepped up in a major way in the third. Auston Matthews set up Mitch Marner to give the Leafs the lead with nine minutes to play, and Marner then made a perfect stretch pass to set up Knies for a breakaway goal.
