The Toronto Maple Leafs are in freefall, with captain Auston Matthews admitting the team's performance has been 'embarrassing' following a 5-2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators. The loss dropped Toronto to dead-last in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division, with a league-worst negative-15 goal differential.
After being outshot 40-23 by the Senators, Matthews addressed the media succinctly, stating 'We have to have more pride in our play.' The Leafs have now lost four of their last five games, including defeats to Tampa Bay (4-2), Florida (5-1), and now Ottawa. With the trade deadline approaching, a roster shakeup appears imminent for the struggling team.
