"In the early stages of this game, Jake McCabe whiffed on a clearing attempt, resulting in a 2v1 that forced Anthony Stolarz to make a pair of great saves. Not long afterward, Philippe Myers took a bad hooking penalty; there was no imminent threat, but he reached into the hands for a near-automatic call. On the ensuing 5v4, the Bruins benefitted from a bounce, as David Pastrnak sent the puck into the bumper,"
"Moments later, McCabe took another avoidable slashing penalty. This time, however, the Leafs struck thanks to a gift from Charlie McAvoy, who committed an egregious turnover in his own zone that was seized on by Steven Lorentz, who ripped one past Jeremy Swayman - a big shorthanded goal for a player (Lorentz) who was healthy scratched after a costly third-period turnover in the loss to the Bruins on Saturday."
The Maple Leafs lost their third straight game after conceding seven first-period goals in three losses. Early defensive mistakes set the tone as Jake McCabe's whiff on a clearing attempt produced a 2-on-1 that forced Anthony Stolarz into two strong saves. Philippe Myers took a late hooking penalty that led to a 5-on-4 goal after a Pastrnak shot deflected from a bumper. McCabe later took a slashing penalty, and Charlie McAvoy's turnover allowed Steven Lorentz to score a shorthanded goal. Penalty trouble persisted, Simon Benoit was called for a high stick, and Hampus Lindholm scored while Stolarz appeared out of position. Stolarz left with an upper-body injury and Dennis Hildeby entered to start the second period.
