"It was more of the same for the inconsistent Maple Leafs as their road trip continued this past weekend. They blew a 2-0 lead on Friday night in Washington, before ultimately, falling 4-2. That said, they rebounded very nicely on Saturday night in Pittsburgh with an impressive 7-2 beatdown of the Penguins. Incredibly, they've now hit the 25-game mark, which means, they have 57 games left on their slate. They're currently four points out of a playoff spot."
"After a strong start in Washington, the wheels came off, even Joseph Woll certainly did his best to keep his team in the game. Having said all that, the Leafs bounced back nicely in Pittsburgh with one of their better efforts of the season. It was great to see the McMann-Roy-Joshua trio find some chemistry. Furthermore, Max Domi tallied two helpers in his return from being a healthy scratch. Dennis Hildeby was awesome in that game, too."
