Darryl Sutter says Leafs' early season struggles could be a blessing in disguise: Leafs Morning Take
"This week's edition of Prime Monday Night Hockey was a rollercoaster experience. After playing two of the most depressingly lifeless periods in recent memory, the Leafs erupted for four unanswered third period goals to stun the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3. They didn't deserve to win that game, but as they've done time and time again in the regular season, they found a way to wake up and turn the tables."
"Bobby McMann snapped an eight-game drought and William Nylander notched two goals and an assist in his return to the lineup. Meantime, Auston Matthews tallied a goal and an assist while Anthony Stolarz made 34 saves. Once again, the Leafs were down 3-0 after two before scoring three goals in 3:24 in the third period to tie things up. It really was a Jekyll and Hyde performance."
A $4,223.06 donation was announced to SickKids Foundation, the exclusive YouTube Super Chat charity partner since last September, supporting research and patient care at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The Toronto Maple Leafs trailed 3-0 after two periods and then scored four unanswered third-period goals to win 4-3. Bobby McMann ended an eight-game drought, William Nylander recorded two goals and an assist, Auston Matthews added a goal and an assist, and Anthony Stolarz made 34 saves. Nick Robertson picked up a point and Brandon Carlo made two critical shot blocks. Matias Maccelli was healthy scratched. Two-time Stanley Cup champion Darryl Sutter commented on the Blue Jays' heartbreak, suggested lessons for the Leafs, and described the messaging he would give to the team.
