CSP #NHL #LEAFSNATION
The Blues are 15-7-1 under interim head coach Drew Bannister despite near-bottom-of-the-league possession and expected-goals numbers as special teams, timely scoring, and goaltending have been winning them games at a seemingly unsustainable rate.
Nonetheless, the positive results — including a recent 7-2 win over Montreal on Sunday — have the Blues in a confident mindset at the moment, and the challenge for the Leafs is similar to the one they failed to meet against the Senators on Saturday. If they turn the puck over in bad spots and feed the opposition’s transition game, the Blues have the weapons — led by the Robert Thomas & Jordan Kyrou line — to inflict plenty of damage.
The Leafs have lost two of three coming out of the All-Star break — both to non-playoff teams — and with Morgan Rielly out, the Leafs will run a Simon Benoit – Jake McCabe / Timothy Liljegren – TJ Brodie / William Lagesson – Mark Giordano defense group tonight in his absence. It’s high time for the Leafs to pull up their socks and come together with the strongest version of a team effort they’ve shown this season.
