The Leafs were in Brooklyn tonight visiting a couple familiar faces in Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin. Meanwhile, Michael Grabner got to face the team he played for for the previous three years, and got to do so on the top line with Nazem Kadri, matched against John Tavares.
The Leafs began this game looking like they had a case of turkey dinner hangover, giving up a great chance less than a minute in after Tavares made a great tip pass to Brock Nelson who fortunately missed the net.
