After all the quality scoring chances the Leafs had, it was a weak shot from the outside that solved Shesterkin. Timothy Liljegren’s wrister tipped off Niko Mikkola’s stick and into the net to tie it 1-1…

The Leafs had several chances at the empty net but couldn’t net the insurance goal. Eventually the Rangers came down and looked to tie it up in the last second but after review the goal was called back because of a kicking motion. 3-2 Leafs final.
