Bruce Cassidy on the Leafs spreading out their top talent onto three lines: “I think it is going to help Toronto… Maybe the individual numbers aren’t as good, but there is a better balance”

What is the blueprint to success against this Leafs team after a tough game against them last week?

Cassidy: You have to check well and stay out of the box. You need timely saves. They are a good offensive team. They are going to get looks. You have to be opportunistic and score some goals. You can’t expect to go out and play a 2-1 game against a really good offensive team. We are going to have to score a little bit as well.

The blueprint is the opposite of how it worked out in Vegas where we were chasing the game from the middle of the first period onward.
