While Saturday night’s matchup wasn’t a nothing game, it was much easier for the Leafs to find time and space with the puck than it is on most nights, as the Canucks lack enough quality depth, are one of the worst possession teams in the league, and were playing their sixth game in ten days without their top center. Nevertheless, it was encouraging that the Leafs didn’t play down to their opponent and dominated the game on the cycle as well as off the rush while recovering well in their own zone and breaking out cleanly.
