Babcock says Zaitsev likely out until the five-day break that follows Jan. 10 home game against Ottawa. Jan. 16 v St. Louis is next possibility.— Lance Hornby (@sunhornby) December 31, 2017

So I hate to break up the alarmist "sky is falling" mentality in Leaf land but just a few things I feel worth pointing out:The Leafs have played more Road games than any team in the NHL and currently rank 4th in the NHL in 5v5 score adjusted Road xGF%.— Stephen Burtch (@SteveBurtch) January 1, 2018

We aren’t playing at our peak yet and have had a nasty road heavy schedule for the first half and we are still sitting on a decent cushion of points (poorly earned or otherwise).We will see the contrast between us, a good team, vs Tampa Bay, a great Cup contender, and it will still be stark difference at the moment. But the pieces for greatness are there and growing and cap room is coming (briefly). We don’t have the injury luck of last season or the overachievement of so many players, but bounces will come.
Unless the Goat!

ImHuge @ r/leafs has been tracking our 6pts in 5 games target Babcock set out last season.Someone else (bravenewname) added formatting for away games, so if we're wondering why December's record was so dismal (on top of losing Matthews for a stretch and playing like garbage):

I think they have complete 13 (70% of them) and have just 5 more to go.All other things being equal, there is reason to believe the 2nd half will go a little better.
