The Flames opened the scoring in a fairly unimpressive period for both teams.

That was the second of two breakaways against the Leafs power play.

In the second, Mitch Marner put on his one-man show:

Nazem Kadri came back with a goal while Marner was sitting in the penalty box, but it was called back on a challenge for offside.

Score was tied after two, but the Leafs started to look like themselves as the game opened up. They finished the period strong.

This is not Leafs-typical offence, though, and they have to make a lot more saves and shoot a lot more shots to win playing like this.

The only job for period three is, frankly, don’t go to OT.

It needs three tries, but it goes in. That’s just a great shot from Yarn Croc:

Really impressive defensive play in the final few minutes. Active sticks, etc. Genuinely the best defending I’ve seen in a while from them.

Final score is: 2-1 Maple Leafs

Good game from Woll.
