So far, The new pieces added by the Maple Leafs in the off season haven’t quite fit
Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs, left, skates against Matthew Poitras of the Boston Bruins during overtime at TD Garden in Boston, on Nov. 2.Their record – 5-3-2 – is about what you’d expect. How they got there isn’t. They enter Saturday’s home game against the Sabres with three successive defeats – including one in overtime and one in a shootout – for the first time since October, 2022.But let’s start with the good.
For the most part, players acquired in the offseason have done little to match the excitement that those transactions generated. The defence is a bit of a schmozzle. It wasn’t going to be a strong point to begin with but other than Morgan Rielly and, occasionally, John Klingberg, there hasn’t been much going on back there. And now Timothy Liljegren has a significant lower-body injury thus further eroding the depth. The defensive corps was already without Jake McCabe. Look for a Marlie to be called up on Saturday.
