Being immersed in their rich franchise connections to Sweden appears to have bolstered the Toronto Maple Leafs.
After reading the starting lineup in the dressing room before Friday’s clash against the Detroit Red Wings, the Toronto Maple Leafs all-time points leader, Mats Sundin, dropped the puck for the ceremonial faceoff before Sunday’s game versus the Minnesota Wild.
Earlier in the week, much of the team watched the documentary on the Leafs legendary, trail-brazing defenseman Borje Salming.
Friday brought a dramatic, comeback victory over the Red Wings. Sunday saw the Leafs go to overtime, before winning 4-3 against the Minnesota Wild.
