Maple Leafs' Key Performances


Auston Matthews shone brightly for the Maple Leafs, netting two goals on seven shots with an impressive shooting percentage of 29 percent. His performance was pivotal to Toronto's success.

The Predators had a total shot count of 24 but were only able to convert two into goals. Their goaltender saved 25 out of 28 shots against him but couldn't fend off all attempts by Toronto.
