Playing three opponents that likely won’t make the playoffs this season, the Leafs took care of business by sweeping the three home games ahead of their four-game road trip.
It’s easy to dismiss a win over a terrible Anaheim team, but that’s the type of opponent the Leafs have been dropping points to all season (and last season, too, for that matter). On Saturday night, they came out and immediately took control of the game, leaving no doubt about the outcome.
Similarly, against the Blues, they handily controlled the game, and while at times the score tightened and flattered the Blues, the Leafs took care of business in the end.
