The Maple Leafs had three full days of no games to rest up and prepare to face the Edmonton Oilers. Coming off a 4-3 win over the Devils, the Oilers presented another challenging team to the blue & white.
The Oilers played the best team in the NHL on Thursday night, giving the Bruins a rare home loss, winning 3-2.
Less than a minute in Evander Kane trips Mitch Marner, and the Leafs are gifted an early power play.

There's no power play goal but shortly after it ends Noel Acciari scores his twelfth of the season to make it 1-0 Leafs.
