Your key takeaways:
Leafs getting better and better in the faceoff circle
The Leafs absolutely dominated the faceoff circle in this game: They won 83% of their defensive-zone faceoffs, including all four while shorthanded, and finished at 67% overall (40 wins, 20 losses). Since getting cleaned out on the dot against Nashville (including two poor efforts on late draws that easily could’ve resulted in a regulation loss), the Leafs have won 53% of their faceoffs, and now sit at 51.8% on the season – good for sixth in the NHL.
