"The Toronto Maple Leafs appeared lifeless. They were skating around with any desire to do anything but lay down and lose a hockey game, but then in a matter of minutes they were brought back and ended up earning one of the most exciting comeback wins in recent memory for this team. Up 3-0, the Penguins were slated to walk away from Monday night's game in the Scotiabank Arena with"
"an easy two points as they continue their season start of playing better than virtually everyone expected. Sidney Crosby and his pals like rookie Ben Kindel were willing an embarrassing loss for the Maple Leafs from not a whole lot, and it was depressing to watch. But thankfully, once the Leafs started to smell blood, they pushed back harder than ever and scored four unanswered goals in the third period to end up earning the 4-3 win in regulation; stealing the win from the Penguins."
The Maple Leafs began the game playing lifeless and trailed 3-0 as the Penguins built an early lead. Erik Karlsson opened scoring with a laser past Anthony Stolarz off an unreal Sidney Crosby pass. Rookie Ben Kindel, an 18-year-old forward, scored twice — an awkward high-stick goal and a power-play tally — to extend the lead. Toronto rallied in the third period, scoring four unanswered goals to complete a dramatic comeback. Auston Matthews catalyzed the push and finished the comeback, and the Leafs won 4-3 in regulation.
