They can, technically, still make the NHL playoffs. It just would take quite the finish to the regular season.<\/p>\n

Sporting News asked ChatGPT a simple question: Can the Maple Leafs still make the playoffs?<\/p>\n

The answer is yes.<\/p>\n

And here’s how the AI summed it up.<\/p>\n

How Maple Leafs can still make NHL playoffs<\/p>\n

There were multiple key bullet points provided by ChatGPT:<\/p>\n

Maple Leafs have 67 points through 66 games.<\/p>\n

They have 16 games left (max 32 points still available).<\/p>\n

The “current likely playoff cutoff” is set as “about 95 points in the Eastern Conference most seasons.”<\/p>\n

So if it’s 95, the Leafs need 28 more points in 16 games.<\/p>\n

Records of 14-2-0, 13-1-2, and 12-0-4 would get it done.<\/p>\n

ChatGPT sums it up as “basically requires a 14-win heater plus help.”<\/p>\n

Without Auston Matthews, the Maple Leafs might be totally done for.<\/p>\n

But hey, there’s a mathematical chance.<\/p>\n
