Game in 10: John Tavares and Ilya Samsonov stay hot, Maple Leafs’ special teams step up in road win over Winnipeg

Your game in 10:

1. Despite a bright start to the game (3-0 shots through four minutes), the Maple Leafs fell behind 1-0 for the fourth game in a row after the Jets transitioned quickly for a rush chance, Ilya Samsonov made the initial save, and Alex Kerfoot committed the flyby of all flybys, failing to stop on the puck and leaving Pierre-Luc Dubois to score on his own rebound. No chance for Samsonov there.

2. This was a big night for the Leafs‘ special teams, and while the pair of power-play goals obviously stand out (they were the difference in a game that was 1-1 at 5v5), I thought the penalty kill really got it rolling for them.
