How the Maple Leafs have become the NHL's worst defensive team

"Leafs came into the game 30th in turnover goals against."

"Turnover chances were 12-2 Carolina after 2 periods."

"Joel Nystrom won't get his second NHL point here, but he's the reason for Taylor Hall's third of the season. His keep-in allowed Logan Stankoven to get to work down low, and a second later, it's in."

Toronto entered the game ranked 30th in turnover goals against. After two periods, Carolina held a 12-2 advantage in turnover chances. That sustained pressure produced a tying goal a few minutes into the third period. Joel Nystrom did not record a second NHL point but executed a critical keep-in. The keep-in allowed Logan Stankoven to work down low and influence play. Seconds after Stankoven created the opportunity, Taylor Hall scored his third goal of the season, finishing the sequence that began with the turnover pressure and Nystrom's play.
