The 2017–18 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the 101st season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on November 22, 1917, and its 91st season since adopting the Maple Leafs name in February 1927.

The Maple Leafs posted a regular season record of 49 wins, 26 losses and 7 overtime/shootout losses for 105 points, qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the second consecutive season. They set a new franchise record in wins and wins at home.^[3] After coming back from 1–3 series, they went on to lose versus the Boston Bruins in Game Seven in the first round.

Regular season

The Maple Leafs set a new franchise record in wins when they earned their 46th win of the season on March 28, 2018, and as well set a new franchise record for wins at home. The following day, the Leafs officially clinched a playoff spot for a second consecutive season.^[4]

The Maple Leafs had a good year against Canadian teams, with a record of 12-4-0. They won all games versus Montreal, Edmonton and Calgary. They split the series with Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver.

On December 19, 2017, to mark the 100th anniversary of their first game, the Maple Leafs held a special game, branded as the "Next Century Game", in which they beat the Carolina Hurricanes 8–1.^[5] To mark the historic occasion, the team wore commemorative Toronto Arenas uniforms during the game inspired by those worn by our franchise's original namesake – the Arenas.
