Game #37 Review: Toronto Maple Leafs 5 vs. Detroit Red Wings 4 (OT)

with notes from Alec Brownscombe

The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off a buzzer beater to tie the game late before polishing off a wild win in overtime to head into the break with four victories in six days.

Your game in ten:

1. For the first couple of shifts in the opening period, the Leafs jumped on the Red Wings and generated multiple scoring chances with the go-for-the-throat-early mentality you want to see from the Leafs when an inferior enters their building. Within 30 seconds, Kasperi Kapanen opened the scoring on an opening shift saw William Nylander win a puck battle, play soccer with the puck in his feet to corral it off the wall, and initiate the cycle, eventually leading to a rebound goal for Kapanen.
