The Toronto Maple Leafs were no match for the short-handed Pittsburgh Penguins. The Leafs suffered a 7-1 defeat against a Pens team missing most of its big names, extending their losing streak to three games. (lukefoxjukebox)
sweaters flew into Pittsburgh and laid an egg this rotten, they were playing to get their coach fired.
The undrafted Drew Connor scored twice playing centre. Defenceman Mike Matheson beat Jake Muzzin wide and Justin Holl to the far post during a wraparound rush goal that was as beautiful as it was rare. Stay-at-home D-man Marcus Pettersson — who has never scored more than twice in a season — jumped up in a rush to pump home the Pens’ fifth marker.“They’ve got a winning culture about them. No matter who’s in the lineup, they go in games expecting to win,” Alexander Kerfoot said.
The Maple Leafs committed four minor penalties in the offensive zone. They gave up two goals in one 15-second span. And, mercifully, after the “CAMP-Bell!” razzes rang out, Keefe threw backup Michael Hutchinson in to shoulder the rest of the goaltending burden in the third period. “They got a lot of speed, lot of tenacity. They play a very structured game, very quick game,” Keefe said.
