The Leafs return from the break looking to steady the season and settle into a new era behind the bench. Steve Sullivan officially takes over the Toronto Maple Leafs power play, while Craig Berube clarifies how the staff will handle decision-making. We break down how that impacts Auston Matthews, William Nylander, John Tavares and Morgan Rielly, then look at the forward lines, the defensive pairs, the Easton Cowan decision, and why this matchup with Ottawa is a must-win inside a chaotic Eastern Conference playoff race. Full lineup notes, zone-entry adjustments, power-play structure, and tonight’s goaltending matchup as Joseph Woll is expected to start.
