NHL Hot Offenses: Toronto Maple Leafs Are Pouring It On
Published
No player box scores landed in our archive for this stretch, so we will let the team totals do the talking. Scoreboards do not lie: here is who has been piling up goals in NHL over the last seven days.
Who's piling it on
The most dangerous offense right now belongs to Toronto Maple Leafs: 10 goals across two games, 5.0 a night, against 3 allowed. That is a margin you can feel from the cheap seats.
San Jose Sharks keep pace at 5.0 per game.
Carolina Hurricanes are part of the conversation too, at 5.0 goals a game.
The other end
At the other end, Anaheim Ducks have managed just 1.0 goals a game across 3 outings, an attack still looking for its spark.
The spread from the loudest offense to the quietest is 4.0 goals a game, small on paper, decisive over a whole week of finals.
The board
Here is how the top of the scoring board stacks up:
| Team | Games | Goals | Per game |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Maple Leafs | 2 | 10 | 5.0 |
| San Jose Sharks | 3 | 15 | 5.0 |
| Carolina Hurricanes | 3 | 15 | 5.0 |
| Washington Capitals | 3 | 13 | 4.3 |
| Utah Mammoth | 3 | 12 | 4.0 |
The fine print
For the record, these numbers are raw finals from our own archive over the window, with no adjustments and no projections layered on top.
A week of scoring says plenty about form and nothing certain about tonight, offense arrives in waves, and waves recede.
