The Toronto Maple Leafs split their mini series with the Edmonton Oilers, taking Game 2 by a score of 4-2. John Tavares scored the game-winning goal in the third, with Adam Brooks and Jimmy Vesey getting goals in the second. Brooks’ goal was his first career NHL goal in his eighth career game. Vesey scored off a lovely pass from William Nylander, who was arguably the Leafs best player in the game. Frederik Andersen stopped 30 of 32 for the win, he was Steady Freddy and kept the team in it during their occasional lulls in defensive play.
First Period
Nylander got mixed up with Vesey in a defensive transition and allowed Draisaitl to go off on a 2-on-1.
