Analysis:

Leafs looked to come out flat in the 2^nd period but always seemed to have an answer for what seemed to be the David Pastrnak show all over again.

Need to Do:

Tighten up defensively, while still pushing the play.

 Analysis:

Leafs shut the game down in the 3^rd with the help of Freddie Andersen of course. Marner had another 3 assist night to add to his already ridiculous amount of assists.

Leafs best Bruins with stellar showing on home ice.
