What a thrilling game for the Maple Leafs! That overtime win against the Devils was a true testament to their resilience. Coming back from three one-goal deficits shows a lot of character, especially with Tavares out of the lineup. It’s great to see Matthews back in form, scoring two goals and really taking charge. His ability to find the back of the net from anywhere is just incredible.
Nylander stepping up with the game-winner after a bit of a slump is also a huge boost for the team. It’s moments like these that really highlight the depth of the Leafs' roster. Marner’s playmaking was on point too, especially that breakaway assist to Nylander in overtime.
However, the special teams situation is a bit concerning. The penalty kill has been struggling, and that’s something they need to address quickly if they want to maintain their position at the top of the Atlantic Division. Getting McCabe back should help solidify the defense, but they need to tighten up overall.
Looking ahead, the upcoming games against the Canadiens and Lightning will be crucial. If they can build on this momentum and fix those special teams issues, they could really solidify their standing as a top contender this season. What do you think about their chances moving forward?
