Mitch Marner played his best game of the series, leading a top line that was excellent all night long. John Tavares and Matthew Knies combined on the OT winner, while Joe Woll was game-savingly good in net, even on a night where Toronto generally won the territorial battle. In the process, the Leafs overcame the Matthews-sized hole in the lineup and another sharp game from Jeremy Swayman to send the series back to Toronto.
Turning Points
In a low-scoring game like Game 5, there aren’t too many flashpoint moments we can turn to that turned the game other than big saves made by the goalies.
