With the Maple Leafs coming off an overtime loss to the Washington Capitals where they took so many penalties, the official total is listed as “lots and lots” on the gamesheet, they, ironically, need to practice their power play more than anything else.
Yesterday, they had a chance to try out someone new on the top unit. Or rather, someone old. John Tavares hit the ice in his regular spot with his team for the first time since exiting the game on October 16 (a tough one-goal loss to the Capitals) with a broken finger.
He spoke to reporters after and wasn’t firm on a return date.
