It was a disappointing effort from the Leafs on Friday. Poor puck management hurt them all night and ultimately cost them the game. Ilya Samsonov was a surprise starter after Matt Murray was a late scratch from an ongoing injury. Below are the highlights from the game.
Michael Bunting and Brady Tkachuk went to the box for roughing after the whistle on the game’s first shift. Ottawa took advantage of the extra ice on the four on four to make it 1-0. Tim Stutzle found Thomas Chabot in the slot and he wired a perfect shot past Ilya Samsonov…
The Leafs tied it up midway through the first on Joey Anderson’s second goal of the season. Alex Kerfoot skated the puck from his own blueline to gain the offensive zone and found Anderson with a nice pass to make it 1-1…
