<h3>Travis Dermott has an offensive side too</h3>
<p>After falling behind 2-0 to start the game, the Leafs turned to&#8230; Travis Dermott for his first goal of the year.</p>

<p>Some good puck skills as always, and an absolute rocket of a shot.</p>

<p>After a rocky first few games, Frederik Andersen is doing that whole &#8220;borderline Vezina candidate&#8221; schtick.</p>
<p>This sequence in the third was likely his best, and kept the Leafs in the game on a night where it never felt like the Leafs offence fully had their jump.</p>
