Maple Leafs report cards: Gritty effort earns shutout win over Golden Knights
With a 3-0 victory over Vegas, the Maple Leafs picked up their sixth win in seven games without their captain this season.
The Toronto Maple Leafs’ “draft and develop” ability was on full display against the Vegas Golden Knights, as Joseph Woll earned a 31-save shutout, William Nylander set up Fraser Minten’s first NHL goal, and Nikita Grebenkin looked like a complete menace.
There were plenty of scrums and some questionable officiating, but the Leafs got the job done against a tough opponent with a 3-0 victory. The Leafs picked up their sixth win in seven games without their captain this season, and while they were outplayed in the second period, their overall team grade is an A after a gritty effort.
