1st Period:
The Leafs set the pace with their first few shifts of the period. First, Nylander's line had zone time in the offensive zone and then Bozak's line had good offensive pressure with a few chances in close on Bishop but he stood tall.
Brooks Laich drew the first penalty of the game as Tampa's Condra slashed Laich but Jon Cooper didn't agree with the call. On the ensuing powerplay, the Leafs first wave pressed and got a good chance but couldn't slot it past Bishop. The second wave jumped on the ice with Parenteau feeding Nylander, who found Boyes all alone with an empty net but Bishop reached back to rob him of a beauty and the Leafs didn't convert.
