Toronto Scoring on Chances the Difference
The Leafs were eliminated last night by the Florida Panthers in a 4-1 series that had plenty of excitement and scoring power between the two teams. The Leafs look to their stars, Matthews, Marner, and Tavares, as their Points per 60 all went down by 3+ Points/60 and Nylanders by just under 3. Nylander and Tavares led all players in the series in SOG/60 and actually increased their shooting rates from Round 1. The difference could have been the stellar performance of Sergei Bobrovsky who made 30+ saves 3 times in the series, including 50 last night.
