While it’s great news that they are playing well, it is also important to bank points, especially against division rivals. Tonight, the Leafs did just that, winning quite handily in regulation against the Lightning.
Anthony Stolarz was once again excellent, the special teams were good when it mattered, their forecheck was aggressive and caused problems, and all four lines should have scored (even though only three technically did).

1. The Leafs got off to an excellent start in this game. The away team declares their starting unit first, and Jon Cooper went with the Anthony Cirelli line, which set the stage for Craig Berube to declare his approach to the game matchup-wise.
