Missed this one, how did they look? Seems like they came out strong, but losing Nylander (and 3-1 PP opportunities against) kinda sunk them?
The Leafs led throughout the game but didn’t step on Vegas’ throat when they had the chance to put the game away earlier. Losing Nylander to injury after 2min of ice time (while still producing an above average full game’s worth of production) didn’t help, so you could see the weight of managing that got to Matthews in the latter third of the third and beyond.
Dorofeyev had some nice shots (he’s a very clunky skater, however), but the loss was largely self-inflicted.
This with a minute-ish left Leafs up one, probably needs to be reviewed with the stripes. Probably another case of Laughton deserving it because he could see it coming.
