"Jack Hughes is one of the most dynamic players in the NHL and he submitted a dominant effort, capping off his hat-trick with an empty-net goal, as 30 seconds remained on the clock. Hughes used his tremendous speed to great effect and he crushed the Maple Leafs with the totality of his skill set. Toronto made it easy at times: Hughes walked in without much resistance for his first goal of the contest, wiring a shot cleanly past Anthony Stolarz."
"John Tavares opened the scoring, notching the 498th goal of his career. Tavares passed Darryl Sittler for 65th all-time on the NHL's career scoring list as a result. It may have been the lone positive development for the Maple Leafs, who were outplayed in every facet of the game from the second period onwards. Matias Maccelli added the other goal for the Maple Leafs."
