You may have some regrets this morning.
Toronto came out of the gates on fire, spending nearly 10 minutes of the opening frame with possession in Vegas’ end. That’s an absurd amount of time for only one period of play.
They followed that up with a truly terrible second period, getting drastically outplayed yet somehow outscoring their opponent because hockey is a game of randomness. With a 3-1 lead heading into the third period, the Leafs tried their best to slow things down.
It didn’t work.
Vegas eventually tied the game 3-3 thanks to a great soccer assist from Reilly Smith and a 5-on-3 power-play goal by Alex Pietrangelo.
