The Toronto Maple Leafs are headed to the playoffs for the ninth time in a row, a fact that, had you told yourself that in 2016, you probably would have been pretty elated to hear.

Toronto Maple Leafs will be playing their Ontario rival, the Ottawa Senators, in the newest instalment of the Battle of Ontario in the playoffs.

Scott Laughton scored 56 seconds into overtime and the Toronto Maple Leafs came back to defeat the visiting Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Thursday night in the regular-season finale for teams.
