The Maple Leafs California road trip rolled into San Jose tonight for another late game by east coast time. Kaapo Kähkönen started in for the Sharks while Erik Källgren was started in net for the Leafs to setup this battle for the äges. Yes, there will be puns in this recap. Give me a break, it’s past my bedtime already!
Overall Thoughts
How did the first line look?
Overall disappointing at 5v5. The line goes as Matthews does, no matter who’s on the left wing, and he’s really struggling at the moment. He’s shooting from everywhere, skating to all parts of the ice, trying all kinds of plays.
