Blown leads: 2 of 3 games leading after one period (28th fewest per lead in the NHL); 1 of 4 games leading after two periods (19th fewest per lead in the NHL). A blown lead here is a game the Maple Leafs led at that point and did not win, in regulation, overtime or a shootout.

Win % counts overtime and shootout wins. “Repeats?” is how well each split carries from one season to the next across 252 team-seasons (2017-18 to 2025-26), against r = 0.60 for overall points %: a weak or noise split mostly regresses. We have no live or period odds history, so we can’t compare these records to the market after vig. This is a description of what happened, not a bet.

From the NHL's days-between-games report. One season of back-to-backs is 10-15 games, so a team's own split says little; the league-wide back-to-back effect is priced in the Schedule Edge model.

How the Toronto Maple Leafs do by game situation in 2026-27: after scoring or allowing the first goal, when leading or trailing after each period, in close and overtime games, and by days of rest, with last season beside each line.

How to read situational records

Each line is the Toronto Maple Leafs record in the games where that situation happened in 2026-27: scoring the first goal, leading or trailing after a period, a one-goal final, overtime. Goals by period count goals scored and allowed in that period across all games, and the opening-minutes rows show how often they score inside the first 5 or 10 minutes.

Most of these splits do not carry over. Across 252 team-seasons, record when scoring first repeats at r = 0.44 and first-period scoring at r = 0.29, while overtime record (0.01) and goals in the first five minutes (0.04) are noise. Overall points % repeats at 0.60.

Read them as a description of the season so far, not a forecast. A team that is great when leading and poor when trailing is usually just a good team; first-period props and "team to score first" markets price team strength, and we hold no prices that show an edge here.
