The game starts in a pretty nondescript fashion, but Calgary gets the first chance of the game about two minutes in. Derek Ryan and Joakim Nordstrom combine to create a rebound chance in close, but Campbell moves well to save it and keep the Leafs from getting in a hole early. However, this is the first of a few netfront scrambles and chances that miraculously stay out. One such chance requires Travis Dermott to shovel the puck off the goal line with Campbell down and out. A bit of a nervy start for Toronto.
The next shift, Auston Matthews tries an extremely audacious backhand through the legs that goes just wide.
