If we can take away anything, it should be that this team is far more capable of playing well defensively than they had been of late. The Leafs played two good games against two good teams and won fairly comfortably in both.
At times, they might be guilty as a team of relying too much on Auston Matthews. Without him, it seemed like they each dug in a little extra and the results speak for themselves. Hopefully, they can keep this going when he returns now.
Your game in 10:
1. This was a really tight game between two very good teams through most of the first period.
