"Since that drubbing in Montreal, the Maple Leafs have gone 5-1-1, outscoring the opposition 23-11. In their lone regulation loss, they blew a 2-0 lead in Washington against the Capitals, another low point as they were dominated during the second half of that game. Their other loss over the past seven games was a home-ice shootout loss to the Canadiens. Credit the Leafs for rebounding after the demoralizing loss to the Capitals."
"It came during the first game of a back-to-back. The next night, against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, it was a newly formed dominant third line that keyed Toronto's best game of the season, a 7-2 thrashing. Nicolas Roy, Dakota Joshua, and Bobby McMann have given the Maple Leafs the strong third line they have been searching for."
After a 5-2 loss in Montreal, the Toronto Maple Leafs reversed course with a 5-1-1 run, outscoring opponents 23-11. A waiver-wire pickup, unexpected strong goaltending, and depth players stepping into larger roles fueled the turnaround. A newly formed third line of Nicolas Roy, Dakota Joshua and Bobby McMann produced key goals, including a three-goal second period in Pittsburgh that led to a 7-2 win. The team recovered from blown leads and a shootout loss to re-enter contention in a crowded Eastern Conference. Contributions from multiple forward lines and improved second-period scoring created renewed momentum.
