Toronto manufactured a complete 60-minute performance in which all four lines were contributing and the undermanned blue line battled in front of Ilya Samsonov, who picked up his first shutout of the season at just the right time.
Your game in 10:
1. It was hard to believe the first period ended scoreless, but both goaltenders were sharp and the goalposts were active (one crossbar for William Nylander, another for Nashville’s Alex Carrier).
The Leafs would’ve been happy with their play overall as they started with good jump and created the majority of the quality scoring chances in the period, including two breakaways, one for Mitch Marner and one for Noah Gregor.
