Need a save, Dave: Leafs lose to Canucks

Things were going well for the Toronto Maple Leafs as they carried a lead midway through the game. John Tavares had scored two goals, both directly created by some William Nylander brilliance. They were producing at even strength. Adam Brooks scored a shorthanded goal from Mitch Marner. Heck, even the power play got a goal! But unfortunately, in the second half of the game, goalie David Rittich let in three brutal back-breaking goals to Hughes, Hoglander, and Pearson, eventually leading to a 6-3 loss on the road. By the end, it was five goals against on 29 shots while the Canucks had less than three expected goals by MoneyPuck.
