TORONTO — Having watched his team fumble away a 5-on-3 power play in the first period against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe had a simple message for his ultra-skilled forward group when Toronto got a man advantage in overtime Thursday.
Don't look for the perfect shot.
"As it turned out," Keefe said with a smirk, "we ended up finding the perfect shot."
William Nylander blasted home the winner at 3:43 of the extra period as the Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 to pick up their fourth straight win.
