The Toronto Maple Leafs have beat the Lightning again after coming off an extremely rough stretch of games with a close but convincing 2-1 victory at home.
There are some key factors before we get into the game itself that is important to note regarding the win. Two of the Lightning’s core players, Victor Hedman, and Steven Stamkos were out of the lineup due to injury, while Jake Muzzin, Andreas Johnsson and Ilya Mikheyev were missing for the Leafs, so neither team had a full lineup in this matchup.
It was Leafs second win in a row against the Lightning.
