Toronto Maple Leafs 2024-25 Betting Overview: Division, Playoffs & NHL Stanley Cup Odds
The Toronto Maple Leafs' chances of making the playoffs are 96.4% (-3000) according to the leading Ontario sportsbooks. The team entered mid-November in second place in the NHL Atlantic Division.
Toronto's first-round playoff failures in recent years have been immensely frustrating to their many fans. Despite some of the best offensive players in the league, led by Matthews, Toronto's goaltending and defense has not been good enough. Many pundits don't see that changing this season, but Berube's presence may change that.

Looking Ahead: Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Playoffs Picture
Making the playoffs hasn't been the problem for the Toronto Maple Leafs in recent history. Winning in the playoffs has been the problem.
The St. Louis Blues had a similar history, until they won their first Stanley Cup in 2019 under coach Craig "Chief" Berube. Berube is a no-nonsense kind of guy who doesn't tolerate excuses and isn't afraid to call out underperforming top players.
Some believe that was a problem in Toronto, that the top players weren't pushed hard enough and were given special treatment. That will change under Berube. But the question remains: has the Maple Leafs' Stanley Cup window closed some? While top offensive talent remains, there are still question marks about the defense and goaltending.
