Canes can’t hold on in Toronto, fall to Leafs in overtime

One point is good, but two would have been better.

That’s pretty much all you can say about the results from Monday night’s game after the Carolina Hurricanes fell in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs in their first game since the All-Star break.

The Canes dominated the majority of the game at even-strength, with most of the lines easily outchancing their Leaf counterparts, but it’s hard to find success when the special teams battle is so lopsided.

The Maple Leafs had four power play opportunities — scoring on one of them— while the Hurricanes had just one chance for about 11 seconds.
