The opening frame was fairly light on action, with Buffalo having some powerplay chances, but the even strength game pretty quiet. Toronto seized control in the second, pulling out to a lead, but allowed Buffalo to score on two of their five chances to end up with the lead after two.
The third saw a good example of score effects, as the Leafs had the better of the play, and kept Buffalo from getting any chances in the frame. While Toronto came close, and had a spectacular chance to tie blocked by Ehrhoff in the final minute, they weren't able to get a goal, and ended up going down on the road.
Toronto hadn't won the scoring chance battle at even strength since they played Anaheim, but got a dominant win in a game they ended up losing, mostly due to that dominant final period.

The top line didn't produce a goal, but were solid, not on for a single chance against, and JVR and Kessel both on for six for; they nearly could have had a goal as well, with JVR coming close in the final minute. All of the other forwards were solid, with Raymond and Smith good +2s. The only sore spot was Smithson, who was a -1 in 10 ES minutes.
Paul Ranger had a strong night defensively, a team high +5, and on for a team-best seven chances. Dion Phaneuf was also good, as was Jake Gardiner, who bounced back very well after a bad game against Minnesota.
