The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up their first win of the new season against the New York Islanders on Wednesday (Sept. 30).

With the NHL schedule getting underway on Tuesday night, hockey is back for another season, and so too is the Toronto Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup. Many
Seeing Easton Cowan on Wednesday night against the New York Islanders made me think about something: The Toronto Maple Leafs did the right thing by trading Matthew Knies instead of Cowan.
Easton Cowan was arguably the Toronto Maple Leafs’ best player in their 2-1 win over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. After picking up an assist in the season opener, the Maple Leafs’ second-youngest player turned in another impressive performance in their first win of the season, scoring the game-winner and picking up an assist.
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.
Although it’s the opening week of the season, there was a significant sense of urgency displayed by the Toronto Maple Leafs in their 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders.
Former Toronto Maple Leafs players are scattered around the NHL but for some reason it feels like there is a larger possibility of these former players immediately making us wish they were still in Toronto.
As part of this week’s swap with the Blue Jackets, there were some salary cap implications at play that resulted in Columbus retaining part of Elvis Merzlikins’ salary. Doing so allowed them to optimize their offseason LTIR placements.
For a decade, the narrative around the Auston Matthews era has followed a frustratingly familiar script: elite top-six star power paired with an endless, shifting carousel of depth players in the bottom six.
The Toronto Maple Leafs opened their back-to-back with a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders, and something about how they won was encouraging. Auston Matthews and William Nylander didn't carry the night.
The Toronto Maple Leafs took home their first win of the season on the second half of their back-to-back to open the new campaign, defeating the New York Islanders 2-1.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
It’s a shame Dakota Joshua will miss the start of the Toronto Maple Leafs season. I’ve always been a Joshua fan, particularly during those good years in Vancouver before he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have reportedly placed forwards Max Domi and Dakota Joshua on LTIR, giving the team $7 million in cap space, according to PuckPedia.
It’s a shame Max Domi will miss time with his back injury. Not just because the Maple Leafs could use another forward. Because Domi is one of those players who makes a hockey game a little more interesting.
Some days, the NHL waiver wire is just roster housekeeping. And then there are days when you look down the list and think, “Wait a minute. I watched these guys.” Sunday was one of those days.
Opening night of the 2026-27 season has come and gone, and the Toronto Maple Leafs found themselves on the losing end against their forever rivals in the Montreal Canadiens.
On Tuesday, September 29, the Toronto Maple Leafs kicked off the 2026-27 NHL season with a 3-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. With essentially half the

Gavin McKenna made his NHL debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs Tuesday night, going minus-two with 15:19 of ice time, including 2:33 on the power play against the Montreal Canadiens.
Tuesday night was Gavin McKenna‘s first night as an NHL player in a regular-season game. The tradition is to let a rookie take a lap on his own, and for the Toronto Maple Leafs, letting McKenna hear the support and have his moment was a big deal.
Sergei who? The Florida Panthers faced the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, in a clash of the past two Stanley Cup champions.

In the fallout of the blockbuster deal between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Maple Leafs general manager is opening up about how things went down.
A lot of things have to go right for the Toronto Maple Leafs to get back to the playoffs this season after a bitterly disappointing 2025-26. Offseason additions such as goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and defenseman Darren Raddysh have to step right in and be difference makers.
Former Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube has responded to criticism of his system and his handling of Auston Matthews, and he isn’t walking any of it back.
