Tonight the Toronto Maple Leafs will play game three of their 2020 Qualifying Round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The series is currently tied 1-1 so no matter what happens tonight, we’re also getting another game tomorrow (now officially set for 8:00PM ET).
After a disappointing and frustrating game on Sunday, the Leafs looked much, much better Tuesday. Not only were they playing their style of hockey, they were also successful in preventing the Blue Jackets from playing the game their way. They were much more successful in transitioning up the ice and not getting trapped by the Blue Jackets, giving them far more offensive opportunities which they were eventually able to convert into two goals.
