"Craig Berube called shootouts a crap shoot on Saturday night. Having said that, there's no question that the Leafs lost out on a valuable extra point against the rival Montreal Canadiens. Glass half empty, glass half full. The point streak is up to four games (3-0-1) with Tampa in town to tangle on Prime Monday Night Hockey. We kicked off the Monday edition of Leafs Morning Take by discussing the latest on the injury front."
"They were sluggish, but honestly, they fought hard to get a point. Hell, they almost pulled out the win. Dennis Hildeby was fantastic making 33 stops. Additionally, Scott Laughton scored for the third straight game. Surprise, surprise, the power play continues to stink up the joint. They're 10-for-70 on the season, good for 30 th of 32 in the entire NHL. Fantastic stuff."
The Maple Leafs earned a point in a shootout loss to Montreal, extending their point streak to four games (3-0-1). Several injury situations remain uncertain: Joseph Woll’s prognosis looks relatively good, Anthony Stolarz still has not skated since the November 11 game, and Chris Tanev is slated to meet with a doctor on Wednesday. The team was sluggish after a long road trip but competed hard; Dennis Hildeby made 33 saves and Scott Laughton scored his third straight game. The power play remains abysmal at 10-for-70 (30th in the NHL), while the penalty kill has been strong. Tampa Bay visits next, with both teams dealing with injuries and lineup changes.
