Toronto Maple Leafs:
Analysis:
Leafs came out of the gate flying and it paid off on the scoreboard as Kasperi Kapanen put another one in. Leafs outplayed the Jets in this period, out shot and out scored.
Need to Do:
Continue to attack the defence of the Jets and directing everything towards the net

Toronto Maple Leafs:
Analysis:
Leafs totally dominated this period, the Jets seemed sluggish and Leafs made them pay for it. Kadri got his first of the season was huge for Toronto in this period.
Need to Do:
Don’t get ahead of yourself with the 3 goal lead in the 3rd. The Jets can really score don’t give them room.
Leafs score a pair in the second to take a 3-0 lead into the third.

Toronto:
Analysis:
Probably the Leafs best game defensively. Third looked a little shaky but that’s why you have Andersen and why you went out to get a guy like Tavares.
