Of course, it really wasn't something they did. The poor play of the Carolina Hurricanes has seen them only earn 7 points (like the Leafs) with one extra game played. Their best players (Cam Ward, Eric Staal) have not been their best players so far, and they have suffered in the standings for it.
So, tonight, the battle for last place takes place. Somebody has to win. Can the Maple Leafs finally win a second game this year?
The Leafs need to start quickly. Carolina, like the Leafs, have been outplayed in the first period this season. If Toronto can score an early goal, the Hurricanes may struggle greatly to get back into the game. As long as Toronto stays out of the penalty box, they should be able to pick up two points tonight and start a charge towards getting back into the playoff race.
Phil Kessel was exciting to watch on Tuesday. Can he continue to play well and add some firepower to the Leafs lineup?
