Regular season

The Leafs headed into the 1995–96 regular season with high hopes considering the fact the club reached the playoffs for the last three years. Pat Burns was the head coach until an eight-game losing streak (and a miserable run of 3–16–3 over January and February) led to his termination.{{cite web |title=LEAFS GIVE BURNS THE BOOT |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1996/03/06/leafs-give-burns-the-boot/b779d4af-c48b-494d-ae98-4a93971ba793/ |website=Washington Post |access-date=August 19, 2023 |date=March 6, 1996}} General manager Cliff Fletcher felt that Nick Beverley could get the job done for the rest of the season and named him interim coach. The team under Beverley went an impressive 9–6–2 and clinched a playoff spot on the final day of their regular season.
