Leafs in 6th place after 1/3 of the season

Hard to believe that the Leafs have completed 1/3 of the season since it only began weeks ago.  This is going to be a horse race.

No reason to get excited yet because the Leafs were this high in the standing last season at the 1/3 mark.  Last year they were doing it with offense but this season it appears to be goaltending which in my mind is a more solid foundation.  Team GAA is 2.24 which is 8th overal and SAV% is .930 which is 3rd overall.  They are also tied to the league lead in shutouts with 3.  At this point would you flip Reimar and Scrivens for Luongo and Schneider?  The powerplay is 21st, not so great but the penalty killing is 17th which is a huge jump over last season.  The Leafs also rank 8th in faceoffs won.

Leo Komarov has passed Luke Schenn in hits and only trails Steve Ott for the league lead.  Mark Fraser is second in the league in +/- so new comers are making big contributions.

But no parade yet folks.
