Mapple Leafs reports: the deep score does it to finish the oscillation of California
It was not excessively cute, but the Toronto Maple Leafs completed a perfect weekend with a 3-2 win over Anaheim Ducks.
The Leafs were over 11-6 in the first, but took an advantage of a goal in the interval thanks to a reference goal of Max Domi. Mitch Marner and Leo Carlsson exchanged goals in the middle of the second, and Craig Berubbe’s team kept an advantage of a goal until Sam Colangelo of Anaheim marked a Power-play goal two minutes in the third. Steven Lorentz scored the game winner from a perfect deflection with 8:25 to play.
Toronto did not spend enough time in the offensive area to justify an A, but there were quite positive enough in the second half of a back-to-back to earn a B.
Mitch Marner: a
Marner had a quality shot on two seconds of 20 seconds and, although he was unable to capitalize, he did not make mistakes for his possibility of escape in the second. Marner created the same Breakaway himself by blocking a top blow and made Dostál seem like a college goalkeeper. He made another beautiful comedy to dance around Owen Zellwger at the end of the second, but he was unable to beat the post.
Joseph Woll: a
Woll bounced well by a hard start against sharks stopping all 11 shots he faced in the first period. Carlsson’s top blow beat him in the second, but there was a lot of traffic in front and Woll simply couldn’t see him. It is difficult to blame Woll for Colangelo’s goal.
Although many of the shots were low consumption variety, he finished with an impressive 29 parades in 31 shots to collect the victory.
Matthew Knies: a
The Knies seemed to open the three -minute score, but was recalled for a missed infringement high in the game. He also played a strong game to bring the record to the net during the game of power at the beginning of the third, which led to a possibility of A+ for Matthews.
He was called for the boundaries at the beginning of the third, but his team killed him, and the Knies thanked them by creating Tavares for a possibility of quality once he left the box. His line was the best of Toronto and was terribly approaching a nice goal in the last few minutes.

Max Domi: a
His line was quiet for most of the game, but marked a beauty in the last minute of the opening frame to open the score. Domi made a splendid move to dance around Radko Gudas and shot a perfect reverse blow to beat Dostál. Domi dropped the gloves with Gudas last season and putting Gudas in the Highlight coil added an insult to injuries.

The fourth line (Steven Lorentz, David Kämpf and Pontus Holmberg): a
Their minutes were incredibly boring until Lorentz gave his team the advantage with eight minutes left in the third. Holmberg was excellent both on the Forecheck and in the cycle in view of the score game, and Kämpf collected primary assistance thanks to an excellent tip of Lorentz.
Simon Benoit: a-
Benoit made a strong defensive game in the second to break a race three against one. The comedy ended up being an important turning point, while Marner went down to the other side and scored a few seconds later.
The shutdown couple (Jake McCabe and Chris Tanev): a-
The ducks have not been able to generate many possibilities to score during their minutes. They did not do anything flashy, but it looked like a completely different game when this couple was on ice.
Auston Matthews: B+
He was excellent in the opening minutes, loosening Marner for an excellent possibility on a two against one, so doing the same for the Knies for a goal not allowed in his next round. He then saved a goal with a strong check of five minutes later. Matthews has not been as effective in the last forty, but hit the pole at the beginning of the third.
Bobby Mcmann: B
McMann showed his speed on the game of power at the beginning, completely blowing by the opposing defender, and consequently Ekman-Larsson had a chance at+ on the door.
Morgan Rielly and Oliver Ekman-Larsson: B
Both these defenders were fine. You would like to see a little more from both offensively, but they were both solidly solid.
Calle Iron hook: b-
Järnkrok collected a primary assist on the game opening lens by earning the line, giving him to Domi and guiding on the net to cause chaos. His line was quite opportunistic, since they did not spend a lot of time in the offensive area.
John Tavares: B-
His line was unable to create much, and his best possibility came from the slot after his team killed a penalty at the beginning of the third. Tavares’ face-off ability struck the game of power and, although he could not take a point, he was at least defensive solid.
Brandon Carlo: C
Carlo started hard, making himself dance in the five -minute defensive area. His captain made a strong defensive game to help prevent a goal, but Carlo ended with a penalty on the game. It was on the occasion of more chances to score compared to Berube.
William Nylander: C-
Nylander was invisible for forty, as well as when he took a waiting penalty at the end of the first. He has just lost Tavares’ creation for a goal on the game of power at the beginning of the third, but in the end he did not seem dangerous as usual.
Scott Laughton: D+
He collected secondary assistance on the Domi goal, but first he ran away with a tribute. He was in the middle of the second in the middle of the second, and while Carlsson scored on a leading blow, Laughton deserves a little guilt for launching a grenade in Tanev a few seconds before. It seems that he is on for a goal against or two every game.

What’s the next?
