Scott Wedgewood was incredibly good during the aforementioned series but he had an off-night as Antoine Bibeau outplayed the more experienced goaltender on the way to creating some franchise history.
First Period
The first period gave no indication of what was to follow, with Toronto heavily on top after the opening skirmishes. Andrew Nielsen had to be alert in the first few seconds to break up a 2-on-1 rush for the home team, and shortly after Kerby Rychel made a brave dive to block a rasping shot from just above the hashmarks.
Toronto’s first shot came courtesy of Justin Holl just over two minutes in, but Wedgewood hung onto the puck through traffic.
