Leafs Report Cards: Spezza provides a spark but the comeback falls short in Ottawa

I’m still trying to process what on earth I just watched. Let’s walk through it period by period to get a better understanding of things here.

  • 1st Period: The Leafs trailed in shot attempts but dominated in expected Goals and high-danger chances (particularly as the period wore on), and somehow got out-scored 3-0 by Ottawa.
  • 2nd Period: The Leafs were dominated in all statistical categories, and the score somehow remained 3-0.
  • 3rd Period: The Leafs dominated, scored twice to make it 3-2, and ultimately fell short.
