They won't get talked about as much tonight but I thought Teddy Blueger and Brandon Duhaime were excellent on the defensive side of the puck once again, both on the PK and at 5v5. If you're not going to score goals you gotta be elite on the other side of the puck & they have been

Sergei Bobrovsky saved 2.83 goals above expected in all situations via MoneyPuck. Terrific performance from Bobrovsky.

Auston Matthews with a 3-point night after a 1st-period error. Sergei Bobrovsky was terrific, outdueling Yaroslav Askarov. Toronto's PK (Nick Paul leading the way) was outstanding. Gavin McKenna was the best U-25 player on the ice in a game that was a showcase for NHL's future.

positives: Matthews rewarded for offensive activity, Rielly's best game of the year thus far, transition defence has been much better, Bobrovsky, Nylander. negatives: puck movement, neutral zone passing, undisciplined penalties, short-range finishing.

Auston Matthews ties the game. Leafs were due for a goal, Matthews has been buzzing as a playmaker throughout the game. Clever work from Marchenko to get free to find Matthews.

Toronto's 7th-ranked power play can't convert on its first extended 5-on-3 of the season.

Ilya Sorokin was genuinely great tonight, but it's difficult to reason that he was the difference. Toronto's veteran forwards needed to be better, the chances were too sporadic.
