The Toronto Maple Leafs have won back-to-back games against the Tampa Bay Lightning. A 4-3 win two weeks ago, and a 2-1 last night. Both great wins and redemption from the 7-3 embarrassment on October 10th, which feels like eons ago.
The Leafs should definitely feel good about those wins. The offense is working after a week on the fritz. The defense just got a big boost from Morgan Rielly and his ability to play top competition every night for 25 minutes. And Frederik Andersen is looking the way he should. They played the Lightning’s possession style (which is also Keefe’s style) and crushed them at it.
