A miserable first period saw the Leafs generate very little, outchanced 5-0 at even strength, and outscored 1-0. Only a powerplay in the closing minutes gave any hope to Toronto in the period. A bad start to the second saw the end of James Reimer's night, as two goals in quick succession saw the Leafs fall behind 3-0, with Drew MacIntyre coming in.
After the Devils' third goal, Toronto started to show some fightback, getting one back quickly on the powerplay, and outchancing the home team 4-1 at ES for the remainder of the second.
The chase in the third was far from ideal, as the Leafs did manage to generate opportunities, but also gave up quite a few, outchanced 7-4 by the Devils at ES on the period. They were able to put some pressure on in the last five minutes, with 5 chances over that time, including three with the goalie out, and a second goal from Kessel that made the last minute a tense one. However, the gap was too large to overcome, and they fell short again.
New Jersey dominated the ES chances, 16-8, but empty net and powerplay chances saw the Leafs come closer overall, 19-17. ES close chances were not kind to the Leafs, as they were beaten 7-0. In particular, the struggling James Reimer was hung out to dry, with the Leafs not generating a single chance at ES in his 22 minutes.

The top line was, as has so often been the case, the best up front, with Kessel the top regular forward at -1, and on for 6 Leaf chances. The second line, in contrast, struggled to produce anything, with Lupul's -5 the worst of the lot. Bolland was an ineffective -3 in his second game back, and only two Leaf forwards were positive; Jay McClement and Troy Bodie, who played less than 7 ES minutes each.
A terrible night for Morgan Rielly, who was a -8, and not on for a Leaf ES chance. Dion Phaneuf also had a bad night, on for 10 Devil chances and a -5. Cody Franson was the lone bright spot on the back end, not on for a single ES chance against in 17 minutes.

An excellent night for defensemen Harrold and Merrill, leading the game at +7 and +6, respectively. Three forwards managed to put up +5s, in different fashions; Zubrus and Jagr were on for 10 ES Devil chances, while Gionta was on for only 5, but didn't face one against. The only two negative players were Ryder and Gelinas.
Players with nice chance numbers:
Toronto - Cody Franson, Jay McClement, Troy Bodie
New Jersey - Jon Merrill, Peter Harrold, Jaromir Jagr
Players with poor chance numbers:
Toronto - Morgan Rielly, Joffrey Lupul, Dion Phaneuf
New Jersey - Michael Ryder, Eric Gelinas
