In the two games previous to this one Saros stopped an amazing 64 of 67 shots he faced in a 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricane and followed that up with a 31-save shutout of the Ottawa Senators. In a league where most of the goalies are literally giants, Saros, at 5-foot-11 is showing that small goalies may still have a place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"s2nPlayer-vMzWtIqy59-2476935-11057\" data-type=\"single\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player2\/embedcode.php?SC=vMzWtIqy59-2476935-11057&#038;autoplay=on\" data-type=\"s2nScript\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matt Murray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears that the rumoured demise of the Maple Leafs&#8217; goaltending has been premature.\u00a0After a stretch of about a month where both Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov struggled to keep the puck out of their nets, they have come up with three solid performances in a row, two of them by Murray.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this game, Murray stopped 32 of the 33 shots.\u00a0According to Naturalstattrick.com, more than half of the shots Murray faced (17) were High-Danger Shots. It also seemed to me that the shots came in bunches. Murray had to make the second, third, and sometimes fourth saves on certain plays.\u00a0It was not a one-and-done shot night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason the Maple Leafs won this game was that Murray out-goalied one of the best goalies in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thehockeywriters.com\/ex-maple-leafs-frederik-goat-gauthier-now\/\">Ex-Maple Leafs Frederik \u201cGoat\u201d Gauthier: Where is He Now?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">John Tavares<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tavares scored the opening goal in the game and assisted on the winning goal. Tavares has scored in four straight games, totalling five goals and eight points in those games.\u00a0That spurt has put Tavares back on a point-a-game pace, giving him exactly 42 points in 42 games.\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\/John-Tavares-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-card.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/John-Tavares-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-card.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/John-Tavares-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-card-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/John-Tavares-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-Upper-Deck-card-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">John Tavares, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If not for the pandemic-shortened 56-game season in which Tavares came one goal short of the 20-goal mark, potting 19, he would have scored at least 20 goals in every one of the 14 seasons he has played in the NHL.\u00a0The only NHL player to score 20 or more goals every season of Tavares\u2019 14-season career is Alex Ovechkin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems every time we think that Tavares is slowing down, losing his edge, or getting old, he puts together a string of games such as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">William Nylander<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Auston Matthews out, head coach Sheldon Keefe moved Nylander over to center in his place. Nylander played an important role in both the goals the Maple Leafs scored.\u00a0He broke in on the right wing and saucered a pass over to Tavares for the first Maple Leafs\u2019 goal.\u00a0Then he sold a shot and fed a perfect pass to Mitch Marner on the game-winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nylander is now tied for second in Maple Leafs scoring with Matthews. Each has 47 points, three less than Marner.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mitch Marner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By the eye test, Marner did not appear to have the greatest of games in this one. For most of the game, his timing with the puck seemed to be off.\u00a0Plays that we have been accustomed to seeing him make seemed to keep coming up a little short.\u00a0Even on the first goal of the game, the puck bounced right over his stick (which turned out to be a good thing) as it went from Timothy Liljegren to Nylander.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, Marner made no mistake on the game-winning goal late in the third period.\u00a0He shot the puck into the middle of the wide-open net after receiving the perfect pass from Nylander.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Mitch-Marner-b.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Mitch-Marner-b.jpeg 708w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Mitch-Marner-b-212x300.jpeg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mitch Marner, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After setting a record for the longest consecutive game-point streak in Maple Leafs&#8217; history earlier this season, Marner has now tied the record for the longest consecutive home game points streak by registering points in 18 consecutive home games. Darryl Sittler set the record back in 1977-78.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marner has also started a new streak by registering points in his last six games.\u00a0He has three goals and five assists for a total of eight points in that stretch. Marner is also the first Maple Leafs\u2019 player to hit the 50-point plateau this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/nhltradetalk.com\/four-takeaways-maple-leafs-win-over-predators\/\">Four Takeaways from Maple Leafs\u2019 2-1 Win Over Predators<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matthews\u2019 Absence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having Matthews out of the lineup did leave a big hole in the Maple Leafs\u2019 offence.\u00a0Nylander seemed to be out there all by himself playing alongside Michael Bunting and Pierre Engvall for a good part of the game. The line did seem to get some life once Keefe replaced Engvall with Alex Kerfoot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it was obvious the Maple Leafs missed Matthews\u2019 offence, less obvious might have been how much they missed Matthews defensively.\u00a0That might have been one reason the Maple Leafs gave up so many High-Danger Chances in this game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one goal Nashville did score, Nylander let Filip Forsberg get in behind him.\u00a0The way Matthews has been playing this season, he would have most likely been right on Forsberg on that play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Power Play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the majority of this game, the power play could have gone under \u201cUgly.\u201d It got upgraded to just \u201cBad\u201d when Marner scored to win the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Ugly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times in a game when there is so much going on that I can see where little things could be missed by the referees.\u00a0A tug here, a little hook there, I can understand not being called.\u00a0There were three times in this game, I thought there were very blatant calls missed by the referees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#1 An interference call where Tavares was bodied heavily to the ice as he was skating toward the puck in the Predator\u2019s zone in the first period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#2 A trip in Nylander along the boards in front of the benches in the second period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#3 A hit to the head and at the very least an interference call on David Kampf in the third period.

The Maple Leafs won the first two games these two teams played, 4-2 in Detroit, and 4-1 in Toronto in what was the first game of their present winning streak.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ilya Samsonov will try to repeat his performance from the last time these teams met when he stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tavares, Marner, and Jarnkrok line will also try and duplicate the game they had in their last meeting.\u00a0They each had two points that night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be interesting to see if Matthews returns or gets one more game off before the Maple Leafs roll into Boston to take on the Big Bad Bruins.\u00a0The one thing the Maple Leafs can\u2019t do is look past this game toward the visit to Boston.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2023\/01\/11\/toronto-maple-leafs-conor-timmins\/\">MAPLE LEAFS TIMMINS SHOULD PUT CHYCHRUN RUMORS TO BED\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Nashville Predators 2-1.
