2023–24 Toronto Maple Leafs season
The 2023–24 Toronto Maple Leafs season is the franchise's 107th season in the National Hockey League. The Leafs will attempt to improve on their 50–21–11 record and avenge their five-game loss to the Florida Panthers in the Second Round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, as well as win their first Stanley Cup for the first time since 1967. After the Pittsburgh Penguins missed the playoffs for the first time since 2006, the Maple Leafs will hold a tie for the longest active playoff streak with their rivals, the Boston Bruins, both making the playoffs every year since 2016.
