The strong play of Max Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi pushed captain John Tavares to a reduced role in the Toronto Maple Leafs offence. As TSN s Mark Masters reports, the veteran is taking it in stride and finding new ways to contribute during the Leafs extended winning streak.
The already short-handed were without Mitch Marner, John Tavares and William Nylander for Wednesday s skate in Toronto. Mark Masters has more on how Sheldon Keefe s team is weathering the storm.
Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe says he and his staff “need to do a better job” of getting the team to play to their potential and fire up Toronto’s offence as they enter the final stretch of the regular season, Mark Masters writes.
After getting off to a disastrous start this season with an ugly .862 save percentage through 15 games, a relaxed Ilya Samsonov looks like a different goalie right now with a save percentage of .944 in his last three games. The Maple Leafs will be betting on Samsonov again on Saturday when they complete a home-and-home set against the Jets in Winnipeg. Mark Masters has more.
