Toronto Maple Leafs

After winning back-to-back games over the Capitals and Senators, the Maple Leafs are looking to make it three in a row against a lowly Coyotes team that has ...

I have to really manage that while also managing the fact that I think we are a deep team that has really clearly identified roles and players that can execute them. I want to see if a reduction of minutes and responsibility can help offensively or if it is counter-productive because they fall out of rhythm a little bit more and are sitting on the bench longer. For the most part, I want to give everybody a chance to contribute and execute their role. In some games, there are going to be a lot of penalty kills. Simmonds would be in that boat, as would some of the guys down with the We want to be a team that is on the puck, and part of that is being physical. In some games, there are going to be a lot of power plays. We are certainly going to need him, especially on the road trip that is upcoming. I think it is just part of his growth as a player and part of his responsibility as a leader. It’s noteworthy that Källgren did not see much game action in camp/exhibition and wasn’t able to finish his only start for the Instead, Sheldon Keefe says he is watching to see how certain players (we can only assume Denis Malgin is chief among them) will respond to the presence of direct competition on the roster. Leaving points on the table versus the Buffalos, Montreals, and Arizonas ultimately contributed significantly to the difference between playing Tampa Bay in the first round instead of Washington.

The Arizona Coyotes earn their first win of the season after squandering an early 2-0 lead.

It came on a power play with Jarnkrok in the penalty box. “We are going to need him on the road trip that is upcoming.” “We controlled the puck but couldn’t convert our offensive zone time into anything tangible,” Keefe said after his team fell to 2-2. Trailing 2-0 and barely showing a pulse, Toronto was booed down the tunnel at the end of the second period. None of the three dressed against Arizona. Nick Ritchie scored a rare goal in front of Maple Leafs fans – but this one was for Arizona. Ilya Samsonov will assume the No. Toronto also went 1-for-5 on the power play and failed to get a shot off on four of them. Shayne Gostisbehere got the game-winner on a power play with 1:33 left. Calle Jarnkrok was called twice for interference, the second one setting up the winning goal. What would have been a tying goal by Alexander Kerfoot with 39 seconds remaining was negated when a hand pass was called on Morgan Rielly. “We all sensed it.”

Unable to limit their suffering, with under a minute left the Leafs scored again (Kerfoot) only to see it called back on a hand-pass violation. [Toronto hasn’t beaten Arizona at home in regulation in twenty years](https://twitter.com/ArizonaCoyotes/status/1582192775587500033). With two goals in thirty seconds in the third period, suddenly things looked good for Toronto, which is never a good sign for Toronto. I’m sure that’ll soften the blow. Toronto dominated the flow, doubling up Arizona in five-on-five attempts, 44 to 22. Tonight they lost to the Arizona Coyotes, who play in a rec center called [Mullett](https://www.azcentral.com/picture-gallery/sports/college/asu/2022/10/15/photos-asu-hockey-opens-mullett-arena/10501873002/).

That puts them on pace to use 61.5 different goalies this year. As we all know by now, Matt Murray lasted a hilarious one game(s) in the Leafs net before ...

I also expect what is happening in Arizona will lead to a new commissioner and another Canadian team. 5000 seats, and one player than can make the Leafs. I expect all three to find their way and be solid contributors. They are calling it the Mullet arena. I can’t see that being a four week injury for a goalie. I bet it ends up being more like thanks for the cap space, don’t worry about buying tickets for the next two years.

Starting on the road for six games as preparations are made for their debut at Mullet Arena in Tempe, they must work around Arizona State’s men’s hockey team events. Matthews skates near his Scottsdale residence in the summer with other Leafs and league pals. “Lot of good memories,” he said Monday morning. It was judged Rielly had gloved the puck ahead before Alex Kerfoot scored. For all the Leafs’ territorial domination in the first period, they generated just five shots and gradually fell behind 2-0. Coach Sheldon Keefe had no update later, though Mitch Marner fretted about such a potentially troubling injury to “probably my best friend on the team.”

Toronto appeared to tie the game when Alexander Kerfoot scored with 39 seconds left, but the NHL situation room determined there was a hand pass by Leafs ...

``That shift sort of lulled us to sleep,'' Keefe, the Leafs head coach, lamented post-game. Toronto, which has a history of playing down to the level of lesser opponents, nearly fell behind 3-0 later in the period, but Kallgren held the fort on a Coyotes power play before the Leafs were booed off the ice at the end of the second. Signed by Toronto in the summer of 2021 to play on the top line with Marner and Auston Matthews before falling out of favour and subsequently getting traded, Ritchie fired a shot in off the post for his third goal in as many games. The Coyotes, who opened the season by getting outscored a combined 12-5, jumped in front with 25.8 seconds left in the first on a power play. With his team on its heels, Gostisbehere ripped his second goal of the season on a power play with 1:33 left in regulation after Calle Jarnkrok was whistled for interference 200 feet from his net and Leafs defenceman Justin Holl couldn't clear the puck. Shayne Gostisbehere scored the winner on a power play late in the third period and added an assist as lowly Arizona stunned Toronto 4-2 to pick up its first victory of the season.
