First and foremost, it was arguably the first time in eleven games this season that the Leafs won the goaltending battle. James Reimer got off to a iffy start after surrendering a stoppable goal to Jamie Benn under a minute after Brad Boyes gave the Leafs a 1-0 lead, but he hunkered down and battled his way to a 43-save performance, including, among many good saves, a highlight reel glove save in tight and a penalty shot “stop” (Nichushkin lost the puck off the end of his blade, but Reimer stuck with him and forced him to elevate the puck).
