    Keys to Winning against Anaheim:

    1. Aggressive on the Anaheim Defence
      1. Young inexperienced and prone to make mistakes or give the puck away. Be fast and aggressive on the forecheck.
    2. Traffic in Front of Gibson
      1. Gibson has shown he’s the real deal and needs to have some pressure put in front of him. If he sees the puck he will stop it.
    3. Powerplay
      1. One of the best on the road against one of the better PK’s. Need to get some good reps against this team.

    Game Day Lineups:

    First Period:

    PP                 0/0              0/0

    Analysis:

    Leafs looked like they didn’t play last night. They had fresh legs and a jump in their game, which is what exactly what led to the first goal of the game by Patrick Marleau.

    Need to Do:

    Continue to play with urgency and continue to press the young defence of Anaheim.

    Second Period:

    Anaheim Penalty – 03:41 – Andy Welinski 2 minutes for Hooking

    Anaheim Penalty – 12:28 – Josh Manson 2 minutes for Holding

    PP                   0/2                  0/0

    Analysis:

    Leafs had many chances to put the game away, including 2 powerplays and couldn’t do it. Aberg scored to add insult to injury at the end of the period

    Need to Do:

    Kick the offence back into gear and attack

    Third Period:

    Toronto Penalty – 13:53 – Kasperi Kapanen 2 minutes for Delay of Game

    End of 3rd – TOR – 1         ANA – 1

    There were three contests in League action yesterday…

    WASHINGTON 2, Pittsburgh 1

     

    The Washington Capitals went on to defeat their arch-rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins last night.

    Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby would open up the scoring, and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin would score his 235th career power-play goal.  Ovechkin now has sole possession of seventh place in that category.

    Washington F T.J. Oshie would net the game-winner with 1:14 left in regulation.
    This would mark the ninth time in 47 contests in the regular-season in which Crosby and Ovechkin would find the net in the same contest.

    Nashville 4, COLORADO 1

     

    Nashville’s Colton Sissons recorded his second career regular-season hat-trick and helped lift the Predators back into first place in the NHL standings at 12-3-0 and 7-0-0 on the road.

    Sissons last hat-trick in the regular-season was during the 2016-17 season.

    ANAHEIM 3, Calgary 2

    Calgary would tie the game at 2 a piece with F Mark Jankowski’s goal in the third period but Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf would score the eventual game-winner 27 seconds later to give Anaheim the win.
    Calgary has been behind in three out of their last four games, and would win those contests.
    So far on the season, Getzlaf is averaging one point per game.

    Anaheim G Ryan Miller would win his 372nd game, two away from tying John Vanbiesbrouck for most all-time among U.S. born goalies.

    Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist won his 436th career game and is now one win shy of tying Jacques Plante for seventh place all time.

     

     

    Max Domi would score all three of Montreal’s goals in the contest to give him a goal-scoring streak of four contests and has 16 points on the season, including nine goals thus far.

     

     

    TXHT and Last Word on Sports Armand Kilsvitch has his recap of the contest here.

     

     

    The Columbus Blue Jackets have defeated the Dallas Stars for the sixth consecutive time.

     

     

    Ottawa’s Mark Stone had a five-point game to lift Ottawa to the win over New Jersey. Stone is the fifth player in Senators’ history to have multiple five point games in the regular season.

     

     

    Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson would score yet again and continues to lead all rookies in goals and points but would still fall to the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout.

     

    Pettersson has scored 10 goals in 10 games played. He is the fifth player outside of the League’s first season to score 10+ goals through their first 10 NHL games.
