Toronto Maple Leafs: The Captain Returns and a Last Minute Take-Down

Despite the Toronto Maple Leafs coming out of this game with a regulation win, this game was not close to complete success for the team.

Playing against a bottom-feeding team in the Los Angeles Kings the Leafs really struggled on special teams and failed to create any dangerous scoring chances until late in the third period.

The Leafs did not give up much in their own zone which is positive, but they did not create enough chances, especially when you consider they played a team so far below their talent level.
