Despite two late goals from the Florida Panthers to make the scoreline seem interesting, it was one-way traffic for most of the game, with the Leafs flexing their muscles in the attacking zone for a majority of the game.
Fresh off giving up six goals in his last start, rookie goalie Sam Montembeault looked for an improved start to his next start after conceding just 2:23 into Saturday night’s outing. He did not get this improved start.
Even earlier into this game, in fact, Montembeault conceded at 2:06, as the Leafs worked a 3-on-2 through their third line, with Nazem Kadri finding Patrick Marleau at the back post to give Toronto the early lead.
