Game 14: Leafs Win Streak Snaps At Three in 4-3 OT Loss To Vegas

The Leafs give it their absolute all but unfortunately come up short as they lose 4-3 in overtime to the Vegas Golden Knights. It was a real treat seeing vintage Mitch Marner in this one, as he was around the puck the entire game making things happen. It was hardly an ideal start for the […]

Game 6: Leafs Defeat Jets With A 4-1 VICTORY

The Leafs came into this one after a 3-2 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars on Thursday.

Game 5: Leafs Down Stars 3-2 in OT
