A powerplay that saw Toronto go ahead was the only real positive in the first period, as St. Louis dominated play, seeming to keep the puck in the Leafs zone nearly constantly. The end result, with the Blues winning the ES chances 7-1, was probably flattering to the Leafs, and two late goals saw St. Louis pull ahead in the game as well. The trend continued in the second, the Leafs getting outchanced 5-1 at ES in the first 8 minutes, and falling further behin.
From then on, the Leafs recovered well, pulling even with the Blues in chances over the rest of the second, despite a fourth goal from former Leaf Alex Steen. The third saw Toronto win the overall chances in the period, and only narrowly lose on even strength, and some sloppy defensive play allowed the Leafs to get within one. However, they didn't generate a single chance once the lead was cut to one, and the Blues managed to hold on.
That terrible start saw the Blues dominate the ES chances, 21-10. The ES close chances are even uglier, with the Leafs outchanced 11-2 during that time.

The Extra Skater game profile.
As you might expect, the game was a Corsi embarrassment, the Leafs hammered 80-45 overall, 66-32 5-on-5, and an astonishing 41-9.

Phil Kessel was the main bright spot up front, as he managed to be only a -1 on a night where most of the team was substantially worse. Kessel was also on for 6 Leaf ES chances, a team best. The only other Leaf forward at -1 was Dave Bolland, who had a very quiet night, on for only the one chance either way. The struggler up front was, again Joffrey Lupul, a miserable -6. Jay McClement was also poor, at -4, along with Bodie and Kadri.
Jake Gardiner was really exposed in this one, a game worst -7 and on for 12 ES Blues chances. Cody Franson was also poor, at -6. Dion Phaneuf, who got a lot of criticism after the game, was actually one of the best players in terms of chances, a -1, best on the defense.

Players with poor chance numbers:
