Those are areas — slot shots and second-chance shots — that Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe has emphasized this season. Those eight, making between $6.3 million and $7 million a season, are averaging more than $650,000 per goal. With 21 goals in 20 games, the Toronto power play has been the best in the NHL since Nov. 1. The power play has also recorded multiple goals in five straight games, tying a club record set in 1981, and matched in 1993. “Even without Mitch, we still have a lot of talent on the power play,” Keefe said.
