There weren’t too many scoring chances in this game for either side, but the Leafs were eventually able to break through in the back half of the game and ultimately win the game 3-0.
This was one of those kinds of nights that coaches love and fans hate: low-event, defensive hockey. On the one hand, it’s nice to see Toronto pull through in this style of game, knowing that they’ll definitely run into a few of these challenging nights in the playoffs.
On the other hand, it was a tad concerning to see them fail to generate much off the rush against — let’s face it — not exactly the strongest defensive unit in the NHL.
