Why rock bottom could have more levels for the reeling Maple Leafs

The Toronto Sun argues that the reeling Toronto Maple Leafs could sink even deeper as they face a challenging upcoming schedule. Following back-to-back home losses to the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils, the Maple Leafs have lost five of their last six games, falling to an 8-9-2 record. Head coach Jim Hiller faces growing pressure as the team prepares to host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.

Toronto has struggled significantly at five-on-five, scoring a league-low six goals in five games while allowing 45 goals on the season. The team is also battling multiple injury concerns, with Kirill Marchenko sidelined and Morgan Rielly and Colton Sissons facing potential absences, though Chris Tanev and Jack Roslovic are expected to return against Colorado.
