He accepted a nice soft pass from Noah Gregor deep in the face-off circle to the left of Islanders\u2019 goalie Ilya Sorokin and blasted it past Sorokin\u2019s glove hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Auston Matthews came out flying in the second period and scored two goals in 2:14 to give the Maple Leafs a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just 26 seconds into the second period, Matthews would knock New York\u2019s Adam Pelech off the puck behind the Islanders\u2019 net to the right of Sorokin.\u00a0After giving the puck to Mitch Marner behind the net, Matthews would back out of the corner in front of the net.\u00a0Marner would thread a pass to Matthews, who went forehand to backhand to forehand and tuck the puck around Sorokin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pontus Holmberg did all the hard work on Matthews\u2019 second goal.\u00a0During a line change after Calle Jarnkrok dumped the puck into the New York zone, Holmberg followed the play into the corner with the idea of disrupting the play of the puck to help his linemates change.\u00a0Noah Dobson would pick the puck up in the corner to the right of Sorokin and attempt to skate around Holmberg.\u00a0Holmberg would lift Dobson\u2019s stick and then shovel the puck free to Matthews who was speeding into the zone coming off the bench.\u00a0Matthews once again went from his forehand to his backhand but tucked the puck between Sorokin\u2019s legs this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-695x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-695x1024.jpg 695w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-204x300.jpg 204w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-768x1131.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-1043x1536.jpg 1043w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-1391x2048.jpg 1391w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_4679-scaled.jpg 1739w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pontus Holmberg, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amazing thing about this goal was that Holmberg lifted Dobson\u2019s stick and made the pass with just one hand on his stick. In the previous game, Holmberg scored a goal while holding off a San Jose Shark defender with one hand and flipping the puck up and over Shark\u2019s goalie Kaapo Kahkonen with just one hand on his stick.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t help but wonder if Holmberg practices these kinds of plays using just one hand or if this was just a situational coincidence. I will say he has to be strong to make these types of play.\u00a0Note: Later in the period Holmberg would take a tripping penalty on Matthew Barzal once again using just one hand on his stick.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Maple Leafs continue to play strong hockey at five-on-five. They gave up just one goal at five-on-five in this game.\u00a0It is only the second five-on-five goal Toronto has given up in their past six games. At five-on-five, the Maple Leafs had 14 High-Danger Scoring Chances and gave up just six High-Danger Chances to the Islanders.\u00a0In their past six games, they have averaged 10 High-Danger Chances For while giving up an average of six High-Danger Chances against.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2022\/12\/31\/whatever-happened-maple-leafs-prospect-jeremy-bracco\/\">Whatever Happened to Maple Leafs\u2019 Prospect Jeremy Bracco?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things got off to a bad start in this game when Matthews took just his second penalty of the season. It was a tripping call 31 seconds into the game, to give the Islanders an early power play.\u00a0To be honest, the Islanders should have been called for tripping just seconds before Matthews\u2019 call.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the play, Matthews was tripped by Alexander Romanov while pursuing the puck in the corner of the Islander\u2019s zone.\u00a0Matthews got up and tripped Matt Martin.\u00a0If the referee had called the trip on Matthews as soon as Martin touched the puck the play would have been blown dead giving Toronto a power play.\u00a0Instead, it was Matthews who ended up in the box.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/auston-matthews-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/auston-matthews-.jpg 894w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/auston-matthews--300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/auston-matthews--768x558.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Auston Matthews, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took the Islanders nine seconds to cash in with the extra player.\u00a0After Bo Horvat won the initial draw, Matthew Barzal got the puck back to Dobson at the point.\u00a0Dobson fired a shot toward the Toronto net which Martin Jones attempted to bat away with his blocker.\u00a0Instead of punching the puck with his blocker into the corner, the puck hit Jones on the thumb dropping down into the crease at the feet of Kyle Palmieri.\u00a0Palmieri had a wide-open cage to shovel the puck into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the Maple Leafs took a 3-1 lead early in the second period the Islanders would score two goals of their own.\u00a0Just 1:38 after Matthews scored his second goal, Romanov would beat Jones over his glove from the faceoff dot to the right of Jones. While this was a well-placed shot by Romanov I am sure it is one that Jones would like to have back.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later in the second with Timothy Liljegren in the box for High Sticking, Horvat would tip a Dobson shot from the point past Jones to tie the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as the Maple Leafs were playing at five-on-five in this game, it was the special teams that were their undoing.\u00a0They went 0 for 1 on the only power play they had while the Islanders went 2 for 3 with the man advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ugly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After questioning Jake McCabe\u2019s usage in overtime in the past, I complimented his recent offensive play following the last game.\u00a0But, starting McCabe in the 3-on-3 overtime in this game would lead to the team\u2019s undoing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Mccabe picked up a loose puck in the Toronto zone, instead of passing it up to Marner standing all alone at the Islanders\u2019 blue line Mccabe tried to hit Matthews who was heading up-ice between two New York players.\u00a0McCabe\u2019s pass would miss Matthews and go for icing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"343\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jake-McCabe.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1204\" style=\"width:625px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jake-McCabe.jpg 343w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Jake-McCabe-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jake McCabe, now with the Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the ensuing faceoff in the Toronto end, Matthews would win the draw cleanly but the puck would bounce off of McCabe\u2019s skate out into the deep slot to Dobson.\u00a0Barzal, who was opposite McCabe on the draw, would break for the Toronto goal.\u00a0McCabe was late reacting allowing Barzal to get to the front of the net unmolested.\u00a0Dobson got the puck to Barzal who shoveled the puck back-door past Jones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some More Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Auston Matthews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One game after Marner moved into 7th place in all-time scoring for the Maple Leafs, Matthews moved into a tie with Ron Ellis for fourth in all-time goals for the franchise.\u00a0Matthews\u2019 two goals in this game gave him 332 goals in 519 games for his career.\u00a0That is less than half the number of games it took Ellis (1,034 games) to accomplish the same feat.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthews needs 33 goals to catch Dave Keon for third at 365 goals.\u00a0With 43 games left to play this season, it is possible Matthews could catch Keon this season. Matthews is also just 94 goals from catching Matts Sundin and becoming the Maple Leafs\u2019 all-time leading scorer.\u00a0If he stays healthy and keeps scoring at the pace he has scored to this point of his career, Matthews should become the franchise\u2019s all-time leading goal scorer sometime in the 2025-26 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the race to the Rocket this season, Matthews (33 goals) has a three-goal lead over Florida\u2019s Sam Reinhart (30 goals) with three fewer games played.\u00a0He leads third-place Nikita Kucherov by five goals with four fewer games played.\u00a0Note: Matthews and Kucherov have both missed one game.\u00a0Reinhart has not missed a game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the weekend we find out who the present Maple Leafs\u2019 backup goalie is.\u00a0Toronto hosts the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night and then takes on the visiting Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night. We seriously doubt Toronto would play Jones in both games in the back-to-back. Sunday\u2019s game will be their fourth game in five nights. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1425-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1425-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1425-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1425-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1425-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_1425-2048x945.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Martin Jones, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, either Ilya Samsonov, who was recalled from the Marlies and backed up Jones in New York, or Dennis Hildeby, who was sent down to the Marlies and is scheduled to start their game against the Belleville Senators tonight, will most likely get the Detroit game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My guess is, that if Hildeby has a good game tonight, he gets the Sunday game with the Maple Leafs.\u00a0If Hildeby gets shelled against the Junior Senators, Samsonov will get the Red Wings game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay tuned.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2024\/01\/09\/martin-jones-maple-leafs-guardian-of-pipes\/\">Martin Jones: Maple Leafs Guardian of the Pipes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the New York Islanders in OT by a score of 4-3.
