Komarov has improved his general play for the Toronto Maple Leafs at 5v5 consistently since first lacing up his skates for the club in 2012-2013.
Komarov became a more complete player under Mike Babcock last year, playing with Nazem Kadri for the majority of his 5v5 time. In 2015-2015, Komarov was given the unfortunate luxury of playing with Mike Santorelli and Peter Holland at 5v5 for most of his time.
