As you might expect, in a game played at the time most teams practice, it was a slow affair without many scoring chances. Naturalstattrick.com listed the 5-on-5 High-Danger Scoring Chances as 7-4 Toronto and the All-Situation High-Danger Scoring Chances as 9-8 St. Louis in the game.\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\/02\/17\/nhl-league-office-unfair-with-maple-leafs\/\">Is the NHL League Office Being Unfair With the Maple Leafs?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toronto hit for the cycle in the game and scored in four different situations.\u00a0They had one 5-on-5 goal, scored a power-play goal, a shorthanded goal, and an empty net goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a scoreless first period, Toronto scored on the first shift of the second.\u00a0Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews won a battle for the puck along the boards to the left of St. Louis goalie Joel Hofer and got the puck out to Matthews Knies just inside the blue line.\u00a0Knies skated through three Blues players with the puck, pulled it to his forehand, and lifted it up and over Hofer\u2019s blocker 22 seconds into the period.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"543\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Matthew-Knies-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Matthew-Knies-2.jpeg 543w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Matthew-Knies-2-214x300.jpeg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Matthew Knies, Maple Leafs rookie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was Knies\u2019 10th goal of the season and just the second goal he has scored in his last 22 games. It was exactly the\u00a0\u201cPower forward\u201d type of goal that he was known for in university and the kind of goal we hope to see more of in the NHL.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marner and Matthews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toronto would score a power-play goal 45 seconds into the second period.\u00a0Marner would steal the puck off the stick of Blues defenseman Nick Leddy and wait patiently behind the St. Louis goal for Matthews to circle and get into a scoring position.\u00a0Marner would then feather a pass out front to Matthews.\u00a0 Matthews wasted no time snapping the puck past the glove of Hofer into the net to score his 49th goal of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shorthanded goal came off of the stick of William Nylander after Knies was sent to the box for hooking Leddy.\u00a0Nylander bumped Tory Krug off the puck in the Toronto zone, poked it into the neutral zone, and then broke into the Blues zone on a two-on-oh breakaway with Pontus Holmberg. Using Holmberg as a decoy, Nylander hit the top corner of the short side over Hofer\u2019s glove. That goal gave Toronto a 3-1 lead seven and a half minutes into the third period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">McMann<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bobby McMann would round out the scoring into the empty net when he shoved Krug off the puck about ten feet in front of the Blues goal and fired it into the empty net.\u00a0Krug argued for a penalty on the play but it was ruled a clean play &#8211; as it should have been.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-696x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-696x1024.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-204x300.jpeg 204w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-768x1129.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-1044x1536.jpeg 1044w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-1393x2048.jpeg 1393w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_2408-scaled.jpeg 1741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bobby McMann, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am sure Head Coach Sheldon Keefe loved McMann\u2019s game in this one.\u00a0Until he potted the empty netter he didn\u2019t factor into any of the scoring. But, he did make three excellent defensive plays in the Toronto zone in the game, coming back to disrupt three potential St. Louis scoring chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McMann has scored six goals in his last four games and now has eight goals and fourteen points in 30 games played.\u00a0That would translate to a 22-goal, 38-point in a 82-game season.\u00a0For a lot of this game, Keefe had McMann playing on the left wing with Nylander and John Tavares.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marshall Rifai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an injury to William Lagesson and Mark Giordano absent due to the passing of his father, 25-year-old undrafted Marshall Rifai got his first NHL start.\u00a0Rifai is the type of defenseman who if he is playing well you don\u2019t notice him.\u00a0How do I know this?\u00a0I have watched all 34 games he has played for the Marlies this season and I hardly ever notice him.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He did just that in this game.\u00a0His stat line reads 11:33 of ice time, zero points, zero in plus\/minus, one shot, and one hit.\u00a0According to Naturalstattrick.com, Rifai was on the ice for one High Danger Chance For, and zero 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\/2024\/02\/19\/maple-leafs-call-up-marshall-rifai-marlies\/\">Maple Leafs Call Up Marshall Rifai from AHL Marlies: Who\u2019s He?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first period of this game was like watching paint dry while playing chess.\u00a0It was not that exciting.\u00a0The shots were 6-6 and the scoring chances were 4-3 Blues.\u00a0Things did pick up a little in the last two periods but this game would not be used to define the word \u201cintense\u201d in any form.\u00a0For the Maple Leafs that is not a bad thing.\u00a0They played a simple and defensively strong road game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryan Reaves had a shift to forget that also played a role in the first St. Louis goal.\u00a0Reaves passed up a chance to change when his linemates did and with the Matthews line coming onto the ice, deciding to join the rush instead.\u00a0He then took a tripping penalty behind the Blues net. On the ensuing power play, Brandon Saad would fire a wrist shot from the middle of the slot past Ilya Samsonov.<\/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\/2023\/01\/Ilya-Samsonov-a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ilya-Samsonov-a.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ilya-Samsonov-a-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Ilya-Samsonov-a-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ilya Samsonov, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Tyler Bertuzzi missed a wide-open net with the St. Louis goalie pulled, the Blues would come back down the ice and Pavel Buchnevich would tip a Krug shot from the point past Samsonov to pull St. Louis to within one with 1:08 left in the third period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ugly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It looks like Bertuzzi finally scoring a goal against the Ducks to end a 20-game goalless drought didn\u2019t change his luck at all.\u00a0He had an empty net to shoot at from the neutral zone between the center line and the St. Louis blue line.\u00a0Bertuzzi had the puck on target to hit the middle of the net.\u00a0The problem was it was too high and sailed over the top of the goal. It could have been costly for the Maple Leafs as the Blues scored right after that.\u00a0Thankfully McMann bailed Bertuzzi out with his empty-net goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toronto flies to Arizona to take on the Coyotes on Wednesday night and then they move on to Nevada to play the Golden Knights on Thursday night. Matthews could score his 50th goal of the season in front of his family and hometown friends. Both games have a 10 pm start Eastern Time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was hoping we might see Joseph Woll get one of the two starts. However, with the number of players Toronto has injured at the moment, it might be impossible for the Maple Leafs to activate Woll off of LTIR. I\u2019m going to guess we&#8217;ll see Martin Jones in Arizona and Samsonov start in Vegas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Toronto win on Monday combined with the Ottawa Senators upsetting the Lightning in Tampa 4-2 gives the Maple Leafs a three-point lead over the Lightning in the battle for third place in the Atlantic Division. It also gives them an eight-point cushion on a spot in the postseason.\u00a0They go into Arizona having won eight of their last ten games and riding a four-game win streak.\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\/02\/19\/marlies-report-three-points-in-three-games\/\">Marlies Report:\u00a0Three Points In Three Games<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the St. Louis Blues 4\u20132.
