The Maple Leafs opened this game pretty quickly as they jumped out to a 1-0 lead just 2:58 into regulation time. The goal came as a result of a deflection in front by Patrick Marleau that took a strange skip off of the ice and slipped past Alexsandar Georgiev. This was one of those goals that you couldn’t really prevent, and it was the result of a wacky deflection on net.
