The 2006–07 NHL season saw the Toronto Maple Leafs attempting to recover from a 2005–06 season in which it finished two points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Offseason[]

Michael Peca was a major addition to the team for 2006–07, signed from the defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers. Peca went down with a broken leg in December, however, after recording just four goals in 35 games.

Goaltender Andrew Raycroft was acquired in a trade from the Boston Bruins, to take over the starting job vacated by Ed Belfour's departure to the Florida Panthers.

Regular season[]

Although they finished in third place in the Northeast Division, the Maple Leafs ultimately failed to qualify for the playoffs after the New York Islanders clinch the 8th playoff spot after a 3–2 victory in a shootout to the New Jersey Devils, finishing just one point out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
