Your game in 10:
1. The game started as promisingly as it could’ve for the Maple Leafs, as the top line got to work right away after the opening faceoff with a one-time look for Auston Matthews in the high slot (fanned) followed by some cycle pressure, leading to a tripping penalty by Mika Zibanejad on Matthews along the wall inside 20 seconds. From there, following a sloppy top unit shift, the second unit continued to be a bright spot for the Leafs.
The 1-1 tying goal against the Blackhawks (also scored early in a period) followed a similar theme: the Leafs‘ second power-play unit was hungrier than the PK and won puck battles, leading to a puck recovery and a goal set up by Max Domi.
