TORONTO — Jakob Chychrun is feeling a lot more comfortable after a whirlwind end to last season. That's great news for both the defenceman — and a franchise looking to finally break through in the Eastern Conference.
That's great news for both the defenceman — and a franchise looking to finally break through in the Eastern Conference.
"All you can ask for is a great ownership group that wants to invest in the guys and give us every opportunity to be successful," Chychrun said."We're really excited." "Put an exclamation point on it," said Keefe, who had the Mount Brydges, Ont., product out as the extra attacker with Toronto down a goal late."I'm trying to talk myself out of playing him, to be honest, because I've got Matthews and I've got Kampf and I've got Holmberg — all these guys that are older guys that are here they need to get their minutes — but it was hard not to.
Leafs winger Tyler Bertuzzi, who signed a one-year deal in free agency this summer, got his first shot on Toronto's top line with Matthews and Marner. Down 3-2 late in the third period, Toronto scored in the dying seconds of regulation when Marner kicked the puck up to his stick from in close on a power play with Jones on the bench for an extra attacker."I was pretty tired at the end of the shift," Chychrun said."Just tried to beat Marner up the ice and made a really nice read, nice play off the far pad.
