Toronto leans a lot more heavily on their top defensive pair and Minnesota has changed up their depth a little more.
Toronto also has points from 10 different players, and Minnesota has none. Lee Stecklein, a genuinely gifted defender, has been on the ice for five goals against. Toronto has been victimizing the top Minnesota lines to score against.
The Shots on Goal are 50-47 for Toronto, so it's not like Minnesota hasn't had some chances but a lot of them came in game one when they were well back and Toronto could simply fall back and keep them from the net front.
Sweeps are hard to pull off, sweeps on the road even more so, but never say never with this blue team.
Go Toronto Go!
