Game #67 Review: Vancouver Canucks 3 vs. Toronto Maple Leafs 2
Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Vancouver CanucksThe Toronto Maple Leafs turned in a disappointing effort as they fell to the Vancouver Canucks in an overtime loss on Wednesday night
First Period
The Leafs came out of the game sluggish and not fully focused on the task at hand. The Canucks took advantage and applied pressure early, forcing Frederik Andersen to make some key saves early on.
As a result of the sustained pressure, the Canucks found themselves on the power play nearly four minutes in thanks to a slashing penalty from Jake Muzzin. While Vancouver had a few half chances, the Leafs did a great job limiting them and staying aggressive on the puck carriers to disrupt entries.
