"After kicking off the day supplying candid commentary for the Toronto media regarding the current state of the Leafs and how the fans handled Mitch Marner, the 37-year-old winger was forced to leave Tuesday night's game after two periods due to a nagging injury. He wasn't making much of a difference anyway as the Leafs smothered the Panthers 4-1 -just like they did back in early December in Sunrise."
"Since firing Marc Savard, the Leafs are 5-0-2. Furthermore, they've scored three goals or more in six of those seven contests. On top of all that, Toronto's been lights out at Scotiabank Arena this season. They've won six in a row on home ice, and through 25 outings there, they're 15-5-5. Joseph Woll improved to 6-0-1 on home ice and 7-1-1 in his last nine decisions. The penalty kill was outstanding again going 3-for-3. They've now killed off 31 of 34 penalties since December 1st."
Brad Marchand's provocative comments backfired and he exited the game after two periods due to a nagging injury while the Leafs dominated Florida 4-1. Auston Matthews received recognition for passing Mats Sundin for the franchise goal lead. The Leafs have gone 5-0-2 since firing Marc Savard and have scored three or more goals in six of those seven games. Toronto has won six consecutive home games and holds a 15-5-5 record at Scotiabank Arena through 25 outings. Joseph Woll has strong recent home numbers, the penalty kill was 3-for-3, and the team has killed 31 of 34 penalties since December 1st. Brandon Carlo returned after foot surgery and played solidly, and Matthew Knies has continued to contribute offensively.
