NHL Watcher: Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet: “I do believe in a perfect world Kyle Dubas would give his big 4 one more year…this has been a bit of a strange finish, I think that’s what he would like to do. However, after this and the team as a whole having 3 5v5 goals the entire series. There’s going to have to be a long conversation whether that still is the plan.”
Chris Johnston of Sportsnet: The Toronto Maple Leafs are top-heavy upfront and after another quick knockout out it might be time to change their plan.
