Under the previous head coach, the Leafs lost four of their last eight to a bottom-feeding Columbus team, albeit two of the losses came in extra time (both 6-5 OT defeats). The 1-0 regulation loss to Montreal was not a positive start vs. non-playoff-caliber competition, although the process/performance was certainly better than the result. Tonight is an opportunity to start righting the wrongs of recent seasons regarding dropped points to clearly inferior opposition, and they’ll need to do it against a well-rested Columbus side as the tired team that traveled following last night’s convincing 5-2 win over Tampa.
