A must-win home atmosphere was enough to power the Toronto Maple Leafs to victory.
Frederik Andersen had another incredible night, Patrick Marleau inched closer towards a milestone, and the penalty kill stepped up once again as the Toronto Maple Leafs got a much-needed win at home over the Vegas Golden Knights, 3-1.
A lot has been made about the Maple Leafs’ home record this year, and this had to have felt as nice for the players as it was for the fans in attendance. The Leafs are now 2-2 since Auston Matthews went down with a shoulder injury, and will have Wednesday night off to prepare for another home tilt on Thursday.
