A back-and-forth game on Thursday night saw the Maple Leafs get behind, fight back, and ultimately win the game in overtime thanks to some heroics by a pair of young Leafs. This game had everything except a 9-2 scoreline and a missed empty-net goal.
Following a really tough week in California, and an exhilarating win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, the Leafs showed both the good and bad sides of themselves, but seemingly learned from their mistakes against a defensively stubborn opponent. They scored five unanswered goals by the end of the night, opening the floodgates and propelling them to an historic 5-4 win.
