Lisowsky has been on a heck of a heater lately.

> [#LeafsForever](https://twitter.com/hashtag/LeafsForever?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) prospect Brandon Lisowsky ain't gonna miss often when he has a perfectly teed up one timer like this. He scores his 19th goal of the season, and 8th in his last 4 games.[pic.twitter.com/kkmMiGdIi0](https://t.co/kkmMiGdIi0?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
