"That said, in true Leafs fashion, the mini win streak comes with some alarm bells as Joseph Woll was forced to leave Thursday night's game due to a lower body injury. The 27-year-old was playing so damn well, too. At any rate, that's where the conversation started on the Friday edition of Leafs Morning Take. What now? That's the big question. Anthony Stolarz is nowhere to be found. Hell, he's not even skating."
"Woll made 22 stops, Hildeby added nine big ones in the third in relief as Toronto smothered Carolina 5-1. In total, 10 different Leafs notched at least one point. Bobby McMann scored twice while Matthew Knies tallied a goal and one assist. Incredibly, for the fourth consecutive, the Leafs scored on their first shot of the game. For context, that's the first time something like that has happened in 12 years."
"In addition to potting his ninth goal of the season, Auston Matthews was a force defensively racking up six shot blocks, two more than the entire Hurricanes team. On top of all that, the penalty kill was nails again going 3-for-3. Over the past six contests, Toronto's killed off 16 of 17 penalties. The shot blocks and goaltending sure help -that's for sure."
The Toronto Maple Leafs won 5-1 to record their second three-game streak this season while Joseph Woll exited with a lower-body injury after coming up lame on a late second-period save. Woll made 22 stops before Hildeby entered and delivered nine saves in the third. Ten different Leafs registered points; Bobby McMann scored twice and Matthew Knies had a goal and an assist. The Leafs scored on their first shot for the fourth straight game, a feat not seen in 12 years. Auston Matthews scored his ninth and blocked six shots. The penalty kill went 3-for-3 and has allowed one goal on 17 penalties over six games, while the power play sits at 10-for-68.
