Only Montreal has won more Stanley Cups than Toronto, whose thirteen championships date back to the NHL's founding era in 1917 and last arrived in 1967. That drought has only deepened the fan base's devotion at Scotiabank Arena. The blue-and-white maple leaf crest remains among the most recognized symbols in Canadian sports.
As of Nov 3, 2026, here are the most recently projected forward lines, defense pairings and power-play units for the Toronto Maple Leafs. On the top line, the Toronto Maple Leafs are currently projected to run left wing Easton Cowan, center Auston Matthews and right wing Jack Roslovic together, a trio expected to log the heaviest 5-on-5 minutes on the roster, though without last change on the road it does not always draw the other team's top shutdown pairing. On the blue line, the top pairing is Jake McCabe and Darren Raddysh, who typically log the heaviest 5-on-5 minutes on the back end and face the toughest zone starts, though the team's primary penalty-kill pairing is not always the same duo. On the power play, the PP1 unit runs Jack Roslovic, William Nylander, Gavin McKenna, Darren Raddysh and Auston Matthews, the unit most teams send out first on a power play, though a delayed-penalty scramble already in progress or a late matchup change can put a different five over the boards. These combinations reflect pre-game reporting rather than real-time tracking, and can change between games and even between periods, so check the today's lines tool for the most current deployment before puck drop.

These projected lines are drawn from Daily Faceoff's pre-game reporting, typically beat writers covering morning skates and warmups before puck drop. They reflect the coaching staff's intended deployment rather than shift-by-shift tracking collected once a game is already underway, and can still shift between a morning skate and the opening faceoff.
Lines can change from game to game, and sometimes within a single game, as a coaching staff reacts to matchups, injuries, scoring droughts or chemistry.
