Recap: Leafs blow commanding lead to the Senators, who take it in OT
Photo by Andrew Lahodynskyj/NHLI via Getty ImagesIt’s Leafs vs Sens on monitor one and Marlies vs Moose on monitor two. This is your dual-purpose recap.
First Period
We open with a very nice high-tempo scrum around the Senators net by the Matthews and the Old Man line.
Hit stats! Did you know the Leafs got outhit by the Canadiens? Where’s Kevin Bieksa to explain how possession time and hitting works?
(Meanwhile Joey Anderson has already scored for the Marlies.)
Jimmy Vesey, who should feel the hot breath of fellow American Alex Galchenyuk, just does nothing with the puck at the net.
These guys, though:
1-0 Leafs
The best bit is where Marner dekes around letting Jumbo catch up.
