Count out these Maple Leafs at your peril.
Matthews extended his playoff point streak to eight games.At 9:44, Matthews went high on Vasilevskiy’s blocker side, and then scored on a power play at 12:29 when he re-directed a Nylander shot.
Nylander had an especially tough first period, as he was in the box serving a dumb tripping penalty when Killorn scored and didn’t cover Sergachev on the latter’s goal. After he was tripped by Rielly in the neutral zone at 7:45, Hagel got the free shot but was stopped by Samsonov on a pad save. The Leafs were on the power play at the time, but could not build off Samsonov’s save.
Though Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe hinted earlier in the day he would make changes to his lines, he didn’t get around to doing that until the second period started.Article contentRecommended from EditorialThe new look had Matthews between Calle Jarnkrok and Nylander; John Tavares centring Matthew Knies and Marner; and Ryan O’Reilly between Kerfoot and Noel Acciari.
