Analysis
Leafs came look strong this game and came to play a bad defensive play led to a powerplay which led to a Brayden Point powerplay goal. But the Leafs fought back thanks to Kasperi Kapanen who used his unbelievable speed to break the defence and setup Kadri for a goal
Need to Do:
Keep Digging for pucks, and using your speed. Play hard against a bigger stronger defence in Tampa.
