The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Calgary Flames in a shootout of a very sloppy game, but they did come away with the victory.
Better still, the Toronto Maple Leafs deserved the victory.
The Flames may have scored 4 times to the Leafs 2 goals at 5v5, but this was finally a game where the Leafs were significantly better than their opponent at even-strength. (stats naturalstattrick.com).
The Leafs picked up scoring chances at will, and only a great game from Vladar and a bad one from Woll made this game close.
Nick Robertson looked especially great, and even Jake McCabe played well in his return to the lineup.
