Weber caught Simmonds up high with a cross-check with about 10 minutes remaining in the second period. The Maple Leafs were on the power play, and Weber tried to clear Simmonds from out in front of the net.
TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practised on Tuesday in Edmonton ahead of Wednesday’s final game of their three-game series against the Oilers.
Before the Leafs opened training camp a few guys – Joe Thornton, Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Rasmus Sandin and Mac Hollowell – returned to Canada and quarantined together in the same house. And it was there that the Willy Styles nickname was born. It comes from Jumbo when we were in a quarantine house together, Nylander revealed. He started calling me that so I put that on my sticks now.
