so is their injured list. Might lose Backes to a suspension too. They have a decent lead on us, but I definitely wouldn't rule out us getting 2nd. Would be pretty cool
The chances of catching them are very remote.
If Boston goes .500, they will get to 109 points. Toronto will need to get 18 out of a possible 22 points to tie them (.818).
If they get just 10 points out their remaining 26 available points (.385, which is a lower pace than last overall Buffalo has played this season), the Leafs would need to 15 out of 22 points to tie them.
So basically, for the Leafs to have a realistic chance at catching the Bruins, the Bruins would have to perform at the pace of a last place team for the remainder of the season.
