Game #73 Review: Tampa Bay Lighting 4 vs. Toronto Maple Leafs 3

Your game in ten:

1. In periods one and two, it was arguably the most impressive 40 minutes the Leafs have played against a good team on the road this season. The Lightning could not cope with the pace and wave-after-wave attack coming from the Leafs — and that’s with Auston Matthews missing up front. When in Toronto last week, Dallas Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock remarked on how tough the Leafs can be to deal with because they play fast with the puck and play fast without it. In the first 40 minutes or so, the Leafs’ forwards were doing a great job tracking back hard and laying on backpressure.
