The Toronto Maple Leafs overcame an injury to their starting goalie in practice before the game, and defeated the Ottawa Senators soundly on Saturday night.
Though the game ended up much closer than it probably should have been, the Toronto Maple Leafs are now 2-1 on the season, could easily be 3-0, and have to be happy with the way they’ve started the season.
Matt Murray, whose salary cap hit no longer matters, is on the I.R and the Leafs suddenly have some cap space, a full roster, and some flexibility.
You’ve got to hand it to GM Kyle Dubas, who held on to Kerfoot, Holl and Muzzin, despite being right up against the salary cap.
