The Edmonton Oilers were able to score a goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight. Unfortunately for them, that’s all they could muster in a 6-1 Leafs victory.
There’s been a lot of talk about Toronto’s strength of schedule lately. I doubt that beating up on a leaky Oilers defense is going to dispel any of those notions, but it can’t be ignored that the Leafs shut down both of the NHL’s scoring leaders for a third time in a row.
Strong team defense, depth scoring, and Mike Smith flailing punches towards Zach Hyman — this game had a bit of everything!
