Toronto Maple Leafs can’t hold on late, lose in OT to Columbus Blue Jackets

The Toronto Maple Leafs earn a pity-point in a very exciting game that included a sexy William Nylander wrister, a classic JVR tip, and a 2016-style Leafs blown lead all coalescing into a 3-2 OTL at the hands of Sergei Bobrovsky, Artemi Panarin and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Leafs come out looking a lot sharper and quicker than the Blue Jackets and as a result jump out to a 6-3 shot attempt lead in the first five minutes. Not surprising given their opponents played into the shootout against Florida and had to travel right after.
