With another game tomorrow night, the Leafs ideally would’ve coasted in the third period and preserved their legs. You also would have liked to see them make Ilya Samsonov’s life easy down the stretch of the game. Of course, the two points are great, but a big part of the story tonight is whether Samsonov is okay after leaving the third period injured.
Sheldon Keefe says Samsonov "looks like he's going to be fine."

Samsonov’s situation aside, this was a good Leafs win featuring great individual performances from Bobby McMann, Pontus Holmberg, and Joel Edmundson, in particular.
