"Joseph Woll played the first two periods against the Hurricanes but didn't come out for the third period, made extra unfortunate by the fact that he was playing well during those two periods. He stopped 22 of 23 shots in the first 40 minutes, but at some point during the second period he was seen flexing his left leg. The glass half full angle here is that the Leafs were already up 4-1 and Dennis Hildeby has played some great hockey lately."
"On the bright side, the Maple Leafs' third line continued to put in work against the Hurricanes. Bobby McMann scored two goals including the ice-breaker, which marked the Maple Leafs as the second team since the 2009-10 season to score on their first shot of the game against four consecutive opponents. Yeah, I didn't know that stat existed either. Aside from McMann's two goals, the Leafs also got two contributions from their top line,"
The Toronto Maple Leafs earned a 5-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, marking their third straight win. Joseph Woll started and made 22 saves on 23 shots across the first two periods but exited before the third after being seen flexing his left leg; Dennis Hildeby replaced him as a precaution with the Leafs leading 4-1. Bobby McMann scored two goals, including the opener, helping the Leafs become the second team since 2009-10 to score on their first shot in four straight games. Matthew Knies, Auston Matthews and Scott Laughton also scored. The Leafs return home to face the Montreal Canadiens.
