Hutchinson perfect as Leafs blank Islanders 3-0; Toronto on 10-game point streak Globe_Sports
Starting goalie Frederik Andersen has been the backbone of Toronto’s streak, with a 6-0-1 record and .909 save percentage, but Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe opted to start Hutchinson instead.
Nylander brought the 19,536 in attendance to their feet with a breakaway on Varlamov 4:15 into the game. Nylander looked like he had the Islanders goalie beat but flipped the puck up too high, allowing Varlamov to knock it away from the net. He made a highlight-reel glove save on Josh Bailey in the ninth minute of play, dropping into the butterfly but snagging the puck out of the air to keep the game scoreless.Toronto broke the scoreless tie at the 13:25 mark of the period when Kasperi Kapanen slid the puck through New York defenceman Noah Dobson’s legs and then backhanded a pass to Engvall, who was skating into the slot and in a perfect position to shoot on Varlamov.
Hutchinson’s impressive start continued 1:29 into the third period, blocking an Anders Lee wrister, kicking the rebound out with his pad and then smothering it with his glove.
