From the column, 10th paragraph:

That is why their 6-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night was much more important than just the fact it brought them to within one point of the Maple Leafs in the chase for the last Eastern Conference wild-card playoff spot.

Sorry, you missed the part of the column where Mr. Shoalts messed up.

Either way, kinda hard to be both 1 pt and at the same time 2 pts behind the same team, which is not even holding the final playoff spot, or is, depending on how you infer what's posted.

The column has glaring errors in it.  Did the same thing with Your Leafs sked a few weeks back, saying they had to play 6 games in 8 days.

Number sense, a challenge for this guy.  He's not thorough, mistakes are frequent and he's careless.  Get on the stick, man.
