There's good reason for the Toronto Maple Leafs to hope for a playoff spot.

If the current 'Last 10 Games' trend continues for the last ~20 games of the season, the Leafs would be in. According to my calculations, the potential points are as follows:

PO - TEAM - CURRENT PACE - POTENTIAL POINTS
1. MTL 6-4-0 (118)
2. ATL 9-1-0 (116)
3. NYR 7-3-0 (110)
4. WAS 8-2-0 (108)
5. OTT 7-3-0 (105)
6. BUF 4-4-2 (101)
7. PHI 5-5-0 (95)
8. TOR 8-2-0 (90)
---
9. PIT 4-5-1 (90)
10. CAR 3-6-1 (85)
11. TB 5-3-2 (80)

I have put the Leafs ahead of the Penguins, due to the Leafs potential 44 wins vs. the Pens 41.

The Leafs have 21 more games to go, compaired to the Pens, and Canes 15.

Now, I know it could be wishfull thinking, due to the Leafs being on an crazy 11 of their last 13 run, and Goffie's team being on an unlikely 5-5-0 streak. Things could change, but there's still hope in Leaf land.

There's still a chance, that's all I'm saying.

EDIT: Added current pace, as the numbers are based on those.
