A dull first period, with just two even strength chances, saw Vancouver get a lucky break late, when Kesler's shot was totally mishandled by Jonathan Bernier. The Leafs had the edge in the second, but weren't able to turn it into a goal, as it was another very quiet frame.
Toronto had one of its best periods of the year in the third, handily outchancing Vancouver while chasing down the lead. The Leafs won ES chances 8-1 before Raymond managed to draw the game level against his former team. While Vancouver showed a little fightback after that, Phil Kessel broke open the game with a shot from outside, before a lucky break from JVR, banking it in off a defender, gave Toronto a two-goal lead. Vancouver generated a couple of chances in the last couple of minutes, but weren't able to get one past Bernier, and the Leafs held on.
After allowing a lot of chances against Tampa, it was a much tougher defensive effort from Toronto, which allowed just 7 ES chances. After just 6 ES chances between the two teams in the first two periods, the Leafs generated 11 in the third period on their own, allowing them to double up on Vancouver.

An excellent game from the line of Bodie-Kulemin-Raymond, as the Russian seems to have adapted extremely well to playing in the middle. Kulemin was the best Leaf in the game, with a game high +7, and Raymond and Bodie were 2nd and 3rd at +6 and +5, respectively. The top line had a couple of goals, but was nothing special in chances, with Kessel a +1, and there were no real problems up front, with McClement and McLaren the only ones not on for a Leaf chance, but both getting limited icetime.
Phaneuf and Franson both had strong nights, but in different ways, as the captain was on for 7 Leaf chances for, while Franson excelled defensively, not on for a single Vancouver ES chance. The only negative player for the Leafs was Gleason, a -2 in 18 minutes.

Dalpe, Edler and Diaz also had tough games.
Players with nice chance numbers:
Toronto - Nikolai Kulemin, Mason Raymond, Troy Bodie
Vancouver - Daniel Sedin, Brad Richardson, David Booth
Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Tim Gleason
Vancouver - Ryan Kesler, Tom Sesito, Kellan Lain
