In 52 games played this season, he has registered 22 goals and 40 assists, including six goals and 13 assists on the power play.

Another former first-round draft pick playing a key role in Toronto’s success is defenseman Morgan Rielly. He has registered at least one assist in each of the past five games he has played in, including a two-assist performance in a 4-2 win at Winnipeg on Jan. 27.
