So as the Tampa Bay Lighting have been the First team this Season to Clinch their spot in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs as they are off to having one of their best Seasons in History and are looking like a lock for the Cup, us Maple Leaf Fans are probably wondering, how many Points do we need to Clinch our Spot? Well I did the Math and I am about to give you the answer. So right now at the moment, the Leafs are 3rd in the Atlantic Division with 89 points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Boston Bruins. And the Closest Team Division wise to catch up to the Leafs are the Montreal Canadiens who stand 4th in the Atlantic with 79 pts. So they are 10 pts behind. The Toronto Maple Leafs have played a total of 68 games while the Habs have played a total of 69 games which gives Toronto the Games In Hand advantage with 1 game. So if we do the Math, if the Leafs win there next 2 games they will have 93 pts. And if the habs lose their next 2 games, they will have played a total of 71 games and can't possibly catch up to the Leafs point wise. So there fore the Leafs just need 93 pts and 2 wins to Clinch a Spot in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs. But overall it doesn't matter because the Leafs are in anyways.
