I talk about shooting percentage a lot in these post-game columns, especially this season with the Leafs only shooting 6% as a team at 5v5 coming into this game, compared to the 9% they’ve shot as a team since Auston Matthews came into the league in 2016.
Well, Wednesday night’s 6-2 shellacking featured some well overdue regression.
As usual, Toronto controlled the run of play at even strength. They generated some good looks offensively thanks to some quick puck movement, and unlike usual, the pucks actually went in.
I don’t know if we did anything a whole lot different than we’ve been doing in other games.
