Your game in 10:
1. Perhaps it was the desperation of a three-game losing slide plus another key injury — Jake McCabe‘s return also certainly helped — but this was a blueprint performance for the Maple Leafs at five-on-five. It’s a template they’ll want to refer back to in regards to how the team can look when it grinds for pucks back, tilts the ice, shoots the puck, attacks the net, and plays to the identity set out by its head coach.
It was their most dominant 60-minute performance in terms of shot attempt share at five-on-five since the season-opener against Montreal, as they owned 69% of the shot attempts in the game and 67+% in each individual period.
