All it took was the common sense to play Frederik Andersen on the back-end of a back-to-back, something the Toronto Maple Leafs should have done a lot sooner.
Looking past the sigh of relief of finally getting over the “back-to-back syndrome”, disappointment dominates over the results, losing ground to the Buffalo Sabres in the two games (the Sabres took three of four points, while the Leafs took two of four).
The Toronto Maple Leafs keep on struggling against (playoff competing) divisional rivals. The results against their divisional rivals, playoff-contending teams for that matter, need to improve.
Luckily, the team could count on one of their superstars last night, who’s enjoying his delayed breakout season, William Nylander.
