After getting a lot of
media heat from Saturday night's loss, the Leafs had the perfect response. They
played what was easily the most dominant single performance I've seen from a
Leaf team in a long time, as they allowed Buffalo less just ten shots on net,
and had over 80% of the chances at even strength. Through most of two periods,
they were playing with fire a little, not having turned the domination into any
goals, but in the third Buffalo ended up paying for their struggles, and the
Leafs were able to win easily.

These numbers are nuts;
to call this game one-sided underestimates the gap betweaen the two teams.
Buffalo posed almost no offensive threat all game, and never really looked like
scoring a goal. Since I started tracking chances at the start of last season,
this was the best defensive performance from the Leafs by a wide margin, the
only time I have them conceding single digit chances against. The thirty-one
chances for are also tied for the most in one game I've tracked.
Details are below.

Morgan Rielly had a great game again, up there with Kadri and Lupul in terms of chances. He was on the ice for twenty total chances between ES and PP, the best I've had for any Leaf player while tracking chances. Polak also had great numbers, and Dion Phaneuf, despite an injury scare, was another player not on for a Buffalo chance.

This
one game lifts the Leafs above 50% overall, and above 45% in both ES and ES
close chances. The last few games haven't been bad, despite the Boston result,
showing the team rebounded well from some poor games against Detroit.
