Three seasons after a forgettable stint with the New York Rangers, Jack Roslovic has become a key top‑line contributor for the Toronto Maple Leafs. After signing a two‑year, $8 million deal in July, the 30‑year‑old tallies six goals and 15 assists in 15 games, on pace for a career‑high 33 goals and 84 points. Coach Jim Hiller credits Roslovic’s resurgence to his chemistry with Auston Matthews—teammates from USA Hockey’s NTDP—and an expanded role following Kirill Marchenko’s injury. The trio now posts a 72.3% expected‑goal share, helping the Leafs rank fifth in the league with 3.73 goals per game.
In just 15 games, Jack Roslovic has morphed from a depth forward in Edmonton to a top‑line catalyst for Toronto. The 29‑year‑old logs 16:39 of ice time per game (fourth among Leafs forwards) and has tallied 15 points, including a pace that could eclipse his career highs. His 23.7 mph sprint ranks seventh league‑wide, and his chemistry with Auston Matthews, Easton Cowan and Gavin McKenna fuels the Leafs’ early offensive surge. At $4 M AAV, Roslovic is shaping up as the season’s biggest offseason steal.
