"The Maple Leafs need to come together and find ways to better and build off of what was a previous successful road trip and put Monday's game in the past. Luckily for the Maple Leafs, they still only remain one point behind the Buffalo Sabres, as they lost a tight game with the Carolina Hurricanes for the final wild-card spot."
"The Maple Leafs were beat up and down the ice and had no jump from the beginning. The Wild got out to a hot start and never looked back. Heading into the second period, the Maple Leafs looked as if they still had some hope, only trailing by one goal after John Tavares scored a power-play goal. The second period saw the Wild strike twice in just over two minutes."
"The Toronto Maple Leafs have played strong hockey as of late, collecting points in 12 of their last 14 games. The Leafs need to stick to Craig Berube's designed game plan and play full 60-minute games. The Maple Leafs have often fallen behind the 8-ball this season and would need to come back; while the Leafs have been able to do this, it is not a sustainable way to win, especially when you are attempting to get back in the playoff circle."
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost 6-3 to the Minnesota Wild after falling behind early and failing to generate jump. The Wild opened strong and scored twice in just over two minutes in the second period, which put the Leafs in a deficit despite a late two-goal push. Marcus Foligno capped a hat trick with an empty-net goal. The Leafs remain one point behind the Buffalo Sabres for a wild-card spot and must build off a previous successful road trip. The team has collected points in 12 of 14 games but must stop relying on unsustainable comebacks by starting faster and playing full 60 minutes.
