I counted 11 incidents in just over five minutes of the first period where the puck went directly from a Maple Leafs\u2019 stick to an Islanders\u2019 stick. The Maple Leafs did not have their first shot attempt until the 8:13 mark of the first period.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Naturalsttrick.com at five-on-five, the Maple Leafs have given up 450 High-Danger Scoring Chances in 48 games, an average of 9.4 High-Danger Chances per game.\u00a0They gave up 12 High-Danger Chances in the first period of this game alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was an ugly period for the Maple Leafs and reminiscent of their second period in Montreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s2nPlayer-iCOi0xftla-2501637-11057\" data-type=\"single\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player2\/embedcode.php?SC=iCOi0xftla-2501637-11057&#038;autoplay=on\" data-type=\"s2nScript\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for the Maple Leafs, Ilya Samsonov had an excellent period or this game could have been over early.\u00a0The Islanders did score with 23 seconds left in the period.\u00a0This goal was more about bad luck than bad play by the Maple Leafs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After struggling to make the simplest of plays throughout the period the Maple Leafs were rewarded a power play when Adam Pelech got his stick caught up with Pontus Holmberg\u2019s skate.\u00a0The team didn\u2019t score on the power play but they did move the puck around well and generated three shots with the man advantage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the power play expiring, the Islanders picked off a hard dump-in by Zach Aston-Reese.\u00a0They moved the puck quickly into the Maple Leafs&#8217; zone.\u00a0Anthony Beauvillier fired a shot from the top of the right faceoff circle that handcuffed Samsonov, catching him in the area of the collar bone. Mark Giordano backhanded the rebound right to Sebastion Aho at the point.\u00a0Aho fired a wrist shot at the net.\u00a0The shot found its way through four Maple Leafs\u2019 players and was deflected by Brock Nelson off the crossbar right to Anders Lee, who tucked it into the open net.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ilya-Samsonov-Maple-Leafs-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ilya-Samsonov-Maple-Leafs-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ilya-Samsonov-Maple-Leafs-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ilya-Samsonov-Maple-Leafs-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ilya Samsonov had another good game for the Maple Leafs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Samsonov made a great save on the original shot by Beauvillier, was totally screened on the Nelson deflection from Aho, and didn\u2019t have any chance to recover from there.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bad Luck on the Second Goal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second Islanders\u2019 goal was not a case of bad luck.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play starts with Conor Timmins missing Michael Bunting on a long cross-ice pass through the neutral zone creating a turnover. Timmons then intercepts a pass from Alexander Romanov in the Maple Leafs\u2019 zone but for whatever reason seems to freeze with the puck at his feet. Mathew Barzal picks up the puck and passes it back to Kyle Palmieri who relays it over to Anders Lee.\u00a0Lee one-times it past Samsonov.\u00a0Samsonov read the play well and was over in plenty of time to make the save. He just failed to stop it.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure if Samsonov was asked about that shot he would have stated it was one he should have had.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thehockeywriters.com\/maple-leafs-forgotten-ones-dion-phaneuf\/\">Maple Leafs\u2019 Forgotten Ones: Dion Phaneuf<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a game that started out so badly for the Maple Leafs the \u201cGood\u2019 things that happened are too numerous to mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pattern of following up a terrible period with a great period held up in this game as the Maple Leafs had one of their best periods of the season in the second, outscoring the Islanders 4-1 in the period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The William Nylander Show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We keep waiting for Auston Matthews or Mitch Marner to singlehandedly take over a game this season.

The goal he scored was great, but there were several sequences where he just came out with the puck or held onto the puck, got a guy on his ass, and was getting into good ice and making plays. All of the things he does at an elite level came together at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sheldon Keefe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Old Prof and I wrote recently that we thought it was a good idea for Keefe to move the top four core players around, switching Nylander and Marner back and forth between Mattews and Tavares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2023\/01\/21\/maple-leafs-play-matthews-both-nylander-nylander\/\">SETTLING THE MAPLE LEAFS MATTHEWS, MARNER &amp; NYLANDER ISSUE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It definitely worked in this game.\u00a0After a dismal first period where neither of the top two lines got anything going, Keefe started the second period with Matthews and Marner together on the first shift.\u00a0They failed to score but spent the entire shift buzzing in the Islanders\u2019 zone.\u00a0This helped create momentum that carried the team throughout the remainder of the period.\u00a0Then Tavares and Nylander took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Justin Holl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Justin Holl had his first multipoint game of the season picking up assists on the Calle Jarnkrok goal that made the score 3-2 in the second, and again with a nice stretch pass assist to send Matthews on a successful breakaway in the third.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to look back and see when Holl\u2019s last multipoint game was.\u00a0It was back on February 28, 2022, against the Washington Capitals.\u00a0That game wrapped up a four-game stretch where Holl had seven points, including a three-point game versus the Detroit Red Wings.\u00a0We don\u2019t usually associate Holl with offence but he has had streaks where that part of his game has surfaced.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/justin-holl-bb.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/justin-holl-bb.jpeg 491w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/justin-holl-bb-213x300.jpeg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Justin Holl, Maple Leafs (2021-22 Upper Deck Card Speckled Rainbow Foil)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A little trivia.\u00a0Holl may be the only Maple Leafs\u2019 player to score in every game he played in his rookie season.\u00a0Holl played in back-to-back games back in 2018 and scored in both games.
