"Leafs outshot 28-11 in all situations when Matthews is on the ice the past 2 games. It's not entirely on the captain, but, man! glass half-full: Leafs are one period away from their best win since the season opener, considering the quality of opponent and what lies ahead. glass half-empty: It's almost entirely reliant on Joseph Woll, the Matthews line need to win their shifts more consistently."
Toronto Maple Leafs produced one period that nearly matched their best win since the season opener against a strong opponent, with favorable upcoming schedule. The team's results have become almost entirely reliant on goaltender Joseph Woll, while the Auston Matthews line has failed to win shifts consistently. The 'glass half-full, glass half-empty' framing is inappropriate when Matthews is not fully recovered, because the team effectively suffers if the captain isn't at full strength. Matthews was on-ice for a 28-11 shot disadvantage across the past two games. The struggles are not entirely his fault, but they are conspicuous.
