The pendulum swung both ways in a tight and tense first playoff game of the Spring at the Ricoh on Wednesday night.
First Period
Toronto opened the scoring a little under four minutes into the first with on the first real chance of the game.
After winning an offensive zone draw, Frederik Gauthier was strong on the puck down low and sent the puck up to the point to Travis Dermott, who let fly on goal. The returning Kasperi Kapanen scooped up the loose puck and sent a perfect reverse pass across the crease to Brendan Leipsic, who held off a defender before sliding the puck past MacKenzie Blackwood.
