Morgan Rielly Is just Day-to-Day

During their previous two contests, vs Montreal and New York, the Leafs were badly out-shot and out-possessed, and were lucky to come away with the win. Last night, they thoroughly dominated the Sabres – 60% Corsi-For – winning 4-3 and attempting nearly 60 shots.

The win puts the Leafs to 8-1-1 in their last ten, and was their third win in a row. It positions them just one point behind the Bruins with five games in hand. They now have a better record than the Canadiens since November 1st.

In fact, if not for a penchant to blow late leads that is far more statistical anomaly than real problem , as well as some early season struggles by goalie Fred Andersen, the Leafs would be among the top teams in the NHL.
