Maple Leafs set up camp in the offensive zone and dominate the Wild
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports A great win on the front end of a back to back for the Leafs First Period [19:42] Tyson Barrie makes a pretty awful pass to the middle of his own defensive zone that Marcus Foligno thankfully doesn’t doing anything with. [19:25] Not to be outdone, Ryan Suter barfs the puck up to John Tavares, who passes to a streaking (just-got-on-the-ice) Nylander who is stopped on a breakaway. The Leafs do get a power play out of it, as Suter goes to the box. [18:37] The Leafs top unit power play has a solid minute of zone pressure thanks to some puck recoveries...

Thursday’s FTB: Ilya Mikheyev scores his first goal and assist as a Leaf, Timashov and Sandin also get points
Photo by Kevin Sousa/NHLI via Last night’s season opener was great once we got past the first period. The Toronto Maple Leafs began the John Tavares captaincy with a win over the Ottawa Senators last night. As great as that feeling is, it also featured two Leafs rookies getting their first points in the NHL. First, Dmytro Timashov got an assist on Frederik Gauthier’s goal: Then Ilya Mikheyev and Rasmus sandin got their first points as they assisted Trevor Moore; I guess they’ll have to cut that puck in half. Finally, as the Leafs were up 4-2 Tyson Barrie set up Mikheyev for his...

Maple Leafs practice lines with the special teams nearly in final form
Photo by Mark Blinch/NHLI via Power play two is going to be interesting. This was Tyson Barrie’s power play crew last year: Photo by Andy Cross/The Denver Post via And this is the current second unit from today’s Maple Leafs practice: Leafs 2nd PP unit comes into focus Barrie Spezza-Kerfoot-NylanderKapanen— Mark Masters (@markhmasters) September 24, 2019 This was inevitable because Barrie isn’t going to take the top job away from Morgan Rielly, and the Leafs forward ability falls off a cliff by design.
