The Montreal Canadiens scored only three goals in the first two games of their series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Looking at their expected goals over these two games (1.04 in Game 1 and 0.98 in Game 2), they weren’t unlucky. The team failed to get quality scoring chances and the offence dried up.
Montreal usually generates their high-danger scoring chances off the rush. Unfortunately, it isn’t as easy to do in the playoffs. Opponents commit fewer mistakes. The Leafs don’t overextend in the offensive zone as much as in the regular season and they reload faster above the puck when they lose possession. As a result, they mostly stopped Montreal from attacking with speed and numbers.
