The Blues and the Maple Leafs used to be able to count 1967 as the start of their suffering.
Now, it’s just down to the Leafs, though recently the Cup-free drought isn’t because they’re slacking off. Auston Matthews, new captain John Tavares, and Mitch Marner are heading up a stellar offense. Matthews already has five goals on the year, while defenseman Morgan Rielly have five assists in three games. Goaltender Frederick Anderson is off to a 2-0 start.
The Blues, after losing a lead to the Washington Capitals, pulled a come from behind victory out of thin air against the Dallas Stars.
