Game in 10: Maple Leafs slay the dragon, defeat Tampa Bay Lightning in OT to advance to second round

Your game in 10:

1. As we speculated after Game 5, Sheldon Keefe decided to run 11 and 7 for this game. Zach Aston-Reese and Sam Lafferty each played under seven minutes in their last game and both have generally struggled all series. On defense, Justin Holl got turnstiled for a goal and had a poor gap on another. All three sat, and Michael Bunting, Timothy Liljegren, and Erik Gustafsson all drew in.

This gave the Leafs added flexibility to bump John Tavares to the top line (which they did), shift around winger combos, and play their top players a bit more.
