Simply put: They're rolling.
The Leafs are coming off a thrilling, 2-1 shooting victory in Winnipeg on Friday, and are now Canada's top team, four points clear of both the Jets and Oilers for first place in the North.
Jason Spezza delivered the winner with a beautiful forehand deke in the skills contest, while Travis Dermott tallied Toronto's only marker in regulation.
The Leafs have now won two straight and are 5-0-1 in their last six, thanks in large part to the exemplary work of goaltender Jack Campbell, who's undefeated in eight appearances this year.
Campbell made 31 saves and stopped all three in the shootout to put himself within a stone's throw of the record books.
Felix Potvin, Jacques Plante and John Ross Roach all share the Leafs record for the longest winning streaks among goaltenders with nine consecutive victories.
Potvin, like Campbell, achieved his in a similar, season-opening fashion.
"Just outstanding," Toronto skipper Sheldon Keefe said of his puck-stopper. "You can see his confidence growing and you can see the team's confidence in him growing as well. Just terrific. He was playing in a game tonight with virtually no room for error and he was there on all the breakdowns that we had.
"He was really good. Obviously, a huge reason why we got points here tonight."
Added Dermott, whose goal was his first in 23 games: "He stole the show, like he always seems to do."
Indeed, Campbell has been The Guy, helping the Leafs handle some mid-season adversity and turn things around since incumbent starter Frederik Andersen went down with an injury.
However, with the heavier workload he's been thrust into over the past few weeks, Michael Hutchinson will get the start in goal tonight. Campbell, who had a maintenance day on Saturday, will likely get the call in the return match on Monday.
"We've got to re-group and get ready to play a Calgary team that's played us hard," Keefe said. "They're very close, they're tight games, tight-checking, and you've got to find and work to get offence, get to the net. They make it hard for you to find ways to do that, so we're going to have to re-group here, get a little rest and get ready to go."
