A silencer.
In the most significant challenge of their season to date, the Toronto Maple Leafs returned the favour in their rematch with Pittsburgh, soundly defeating the Penguins 4-0 on Thursday after being embarrassed on the road in their matchup two nights earlier.
Frederik Andersen earned his first victory this month with a 24-save shutout, while the ever-galvanizing Jake Muzzin earned a dribble with the game ball thanks to his team-high three points. William Nylander, Kasperi Kapanen and Zach Hyman scored in addition to Muzzin, while Tavares notched two assists with prowess in the faceoff circle.
The Maple Leafs host the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
