'We Get In Our Own Head': What's Got The Maple Leafs' Second Line In A Slump?
The Toronto Maple Leafs find themselves in quite the slump, dropping their last four games, all at home and in regulation. One negative, standout aspect of this stretch has been the team's second line, predominantly William Nylander, as well as John Tavares.
Alongside that duo have been Ryan Tverberg in their last game, Gavin McKenna, or even with Tavares on the left wing and Nick Paul in the middle.
No matter how many times Leafs head coach Jim Hiller adjusted the line, it doesn't seem to be playing very well.
He, as well as Tavares and Nylander, touched on why each of them hasn't been their best, and what they can and should be doing better.
