COMMENTARY
Mason Lohrei wasn’t harping on the positives Tuesday night.
“Obviously, it’s tough,” the 24-year-old defenseman said. “I mean — you’re always looking for the two points and gave that away tonight.”
Lohrei was not pleased with the final seconds of Tuesday’s disheartening 5-4 overtime loss to the Leafs — with a failed reach near the offensive blue giving Toronto’s Mitch Marner an eventual breakaway bid that ended the game with 51 seconds left in the extra frame.
But even with that miscue from the second-year skater, Lohrei’s head coach would not focus on any shortcomings on a night where his D-man also recorded two assists and landed six shots on goal over 22:05 of ice time.
