3 takeaways from Maple Leafs failed comeback bid against Canadiens
"Iffy defense The three goals on 18 shots from Anthony Stolarz over two periods of play might seem a bit concerning. Yes, it was a preseason game for the Maple Leafs' starting netminder. But the goals really weren't entirely his fault. The first goal came during a 4-on-4 sequence in which Nick Robertson failed to pick up his man on the play. That failed coverage allowed Newhook to sneak one past Stolarz to open the scoring."
"In the end, the Maple Leafs fell 4-2 on home ice. The Maple Leafs got a power play from John Tavares in the second, and a tally from William Nylander late in the game. The Canadiens, meanwhile, got two power play tallies, one from Riley Kidney and the other from Lane Hutson. Alex Newhook opened the scoring in the first period, with Sean Farrell adding another in the third to seal the victory."
Toronto lost 4-2 at Scotiabank Arena after Montreal built a 4-1 lead before Toronto pushed late. Alex Newhook opened the scoring in the first period, while Riley Kidney and Lane Hutson scored power-play goals and Sean Farrell added an insurance goal in the third. The Maple Leafs had a power play from John Tavares and William Nylander scored late. Anthony Stolarz and Artur Akhtyamov combined for 25 saves. Defensive breakdowns, including missed coverage and a turnover leading to a 3-on-1, contributed to Montreal’s goals. The Maple Leafs went 1-for-3 on the penalty kill, surrendering two power-play goals.
