The 1995–96 Toronto Maple Leafs season was Toronto's 79th season in the National Hockey League (NHL).

Offseason

[edit]

Regular season

[edit]

The Leafs headed into the 1995–96 regular season with high hopes considering the fact the club reached the playoffs for the last three years. Pat Burns was the head coach until an eight-game losing streak (and a miserable run of 3–16–3 over January and February) led to his termination.[1] General manager Cliff Fletcher felt that Nick Beverley could get the job done for the rest of the season and named him interim coach.[1] The team under Beverley went an impressive 9–6–2 and clinched a playoff spot on the final day of their regular season.

  • December 11, 1995: Patrick Roy earned his first victory in net as a member of the Colorado Avalanche.[2] It was a 5–1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
  • December 30, 1995: Mats Sundin scored just 6 seconds into the overtime period to give the Maple Leafs a 4–3 road win over the St. Louis Blues.[3][4] It would prove to be the fastest regular-season overtime goal ever scored and has been matched twice since.[5][6]
