The Leafs took on the Devils in Toronto tonight, their second meeting of the year. Here’s how it went:

The first part of the period was definitely highlighted by some strong play by Brian Boyle in his return to Toronto as well as a great shift by the Kadri line and some good goaltending at both ends. Especially so by Cory Schneider on the early Toronto powerplay, a PP that has been incredibly dangerous this year.

A late period Devils powerplay creates some good chances, but was ultimately stifled by some good penalty killing by Dominic Moore, Ron Hainsey and Connor Brown.

Once again Schneider puts his name at the forefront of this game, with a great stop near the end of the period. He has been excellent this game.

The period ended tied 0-0.

A largely uneventful period saw the Leafs and Devils trading marginal chances, with neither looking dangerous enough to find the back of the net.

Finally with about 5 minutes left in the period, the Bozak line had a two-on-one and some ensuing chances, but a great defensive play by Adam Henrique saves the day for the Devils.

That would be it for the second. 0-0 still.

Another boring period went by with not many scoring chances for either side as the game will remain 0-0 heading into overtime.

Jake Gardiner took a soft penalty call in the early part of the overtime period which puts the Devils on an incredibly dangerous 4-on-3 powerplay.

Just as the game is about to end, William Nylander, the beautiful Swede, finds the back of the net with just 3 seconds left.

The game was incredibly boring until 3-on-3 overtime hit. What a blessing that has been for ending hockey games.

My three stars for the night are pretty obvious choices.

Thanks for reading and watching! GO LEAFS GO!
