Your game in 10:
1. Sheldon Keefe started this game with a forward line of Noah Gregor, David Kampf, and Calle Jarnkrok along with the Morgan Rielly – Timothy Liljegren pairing, which I thought was a good way of getting the whole bench involved right away on a night when Auston Matthews was out due to illness.
The few first shifts of the game were an indication of the night to come; Jarnkrok was nearly sprung on a breakaway, and on the next shift, John Tavares and William Nylander forced a neutral-zone turnover for a quick 2v1 rush that didn’t pan out.
