"At any rate, we got into full analysis and breakdown of their 3-2 OT loss against San Jose. Firstly, they got a point, so that means the point streak is now up to six games (4-0-2). That said, there's no question that they let that game slip away. John Klingberg tied it with 1:25 left in regulation, then Alex Wennberg potted the OT winner. And yes, we did discuss the carelessness with the puck from William Nylander and Auston Matthews late in the game."
"OEL, who left the game with a lower body injury, is hopeful he can play against Edmonton. Watching the injury in real-time, there was serious concern that the Swede, who's been Toronto's top D this season, could miss significant time. Great on that front. Additionally, we did discuss some of the updates to Brandon Carlo and Chris Tanev. It just feels like every time the Leafs get someone back, someone else goes down. The injury bug has hammered this team hard this season."
"Dennis Hildeby was fantastic again making 29 saves. Meantime, the Joshua-Roy-Nylander trio actually looked pretty good. Overall, Nylander - despite the ugly final few shifts - had himself a great bounce-back effort after being demoted to the third line. The Leafs even scored a power play goal, which was great to see. On top of all that, we talked quickly about Henry Thrun's Leafs debut. We didn't notice him that much, so that's good."
Toronto lost 3-2 in overtime to San Jose, dropping a potential two points despite controlling much of the game. Oliver Ekman-Larsson left with a lower-body injury but is hopeful to play against Edmonton; concern briefly arose that he could miss significant time. The team extended its point streak to six games (4-0-2) but conceded a late equalizer to John Klingberg and an OT winner by Alex Wennberg. Dennis Hildeby made 29 saves. William Nylander delivered a strong bounce-back after a third-line demotion despite late-carelessness with the puck. Henry Thrun made a quiet debut.
