The Maple Leafs were impressive at five-on-five in Game 2 on Monday, controlling nearly 70% of the scoring chances in all situations (38-17) and 58.93% of the Expected Goals, according to Natural Stat Trick. They also overcame adversity throughout the game, erasing two separate deficits and scoring three goals for the first time in nine playoff games. They earned the road split despite zero offensive contributions from two of their superstars, one of whom hasn’t played a game in the series yet (Mitch Marner and William Nylander).
Marner is due for a breakout game in this series.
