Nylander goes off, Marner extends streak to 22 games as Maple Leafs beat Flames Via koshtorontosun
The Leafs have gone 14 games without a regulation loss, two off the team record of 16 games set in 2002-03. They have not lost in regulation since Nov. 11 against Pittsburgh.
Marner did some grunt work to get on the scoresheet, picking the puck out of a scrum along the boards and sending it to Rasmus Sandin. The latter then fed Nylander, who scored on a low shot at 17:10 of the first period. “With Toronto, and I saw it last year, their top players, those guys have taken another whole level in terms of their leadership and they’re by-example type players,” Sutter said. “It’s so evident when you watch them. Even last year, you could see the difference in them.”
It was Matthews who had given Toronto a 1-0 lead at 5:04 when he went low stick on Vladar following a Nylander feed. Matthews ran his point streak to seven games with the goal. There was a dicey moment when Murray left of his crease to play the puck and was forced to make while he was in the slot as he tried to scramble back to the net.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“When things are going as well as they are right now, it’s important for me to make it clear to our guys about why it’s going well, and we show that ,” Keefe said after the club’s optional morning skate. “We show that and we just need to continue to replicate it.
