Game in 10: Matthew Knies puts on statement performance in Maple Leafs’ huge win over Tampa

Matthew Knies, Maple LeafsIn one of the biggest regular-season games in recent memory for this core, the Toronto Maple Leafs won a tight 4-3 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Looking to rebound after a dreadful effort last night against the Florida Panthers, the Leafs‘ top line came out hot and notched two early goals. Tampa battled back, with some help from the referees in the third, but the Leafs were able to claim victory in the extra session on a hat-trick goal by the incandescent Matthew Knies. The victory puts the Leafs three points ahead of the Lightning for first in the Atlantic with four games to go before the playoffs.
