In Toronto's shootout win over Ottawa, Matt Murray became the first Maple Leafs goaltender to allow four goals in six straight games since Ed Belfour in January 2006. Despite the goals against, Murray is performing well, giving Ilya Samsonov tight competition for the starting spot in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Morgan Rielly hasn't had the best season of his. NHL career, in the first year of a eight-year, $60-million contract but the 29-year-old defenceman is starting to combine his offensive contributions with steady play on the blue line just when the Maple Leafs need him.
Playing on a line with Auston Matthews, Calle Jarnkrok's finishing ability is looking like top-six standard. Jarnkrok set a new career-high in goals (17) with his two-goal performance in the Leafs shootout win over Ottawa.
