Your game in 10:
1. I again didn’t like the first period by the Leafs in this game. They scored the power-play goal via John Tavares and had some chances shorthanded (a Mitch Marner breakaway, an Alex Kerfoot partial breakaway), but they generated a total of one-even strength shot on goal in the 14 minutes of 5v5 play. They were outshot 8-1 at evens.
Just like in the loss to the Sharks, they weren’t playing great, but they were in a perfectly fine position through 20 minutes — and then the penalties arrived (tonight, they both came courtesy of the last guy who needed it right now in Justin Holl), leading to two quick power-play goals against just like in San Jose.
