Game in 10: Lost special teams and goaltending battles sink Maple Leafs despite solid 5v5 effort vs. Washington

The difference is that the Leafs actually played reasonably well this time overall, but glaring, untimely errors and losing the special teams and goaltending battles sunk them in the end.

Your game in 10:

1. The Leafs came out flying in this game, creating a ton of chances early. The John Tavares line started the game and just missed connecting in the slot. On the next shift, Matthew Knies found William Nylander across the slot, where Nylander had time and space but was denied by Logan Thompson.
