For the Toronto Maple Leafs, it wasn’t Auston Matthews, John Tavares or Mitch Marner leading the way. It was the newly acquired Jake Muzzin and Andreas Johnsson, who had four points.
This game featured so many cool things: the sequence where Muzzin destroyed one of hockey’s dirtiest players with a hit, then drew a penalty, then scored two seconds into the power-play was pretty amazing.
So too was seeing Nazem Kadri hit yet another crossbar (because at this point it’s hilarious) and my man William Nylander showing why people might want to reevaluate how they feel about him.
