Himself saw William Nylander sharper in his second match since he at the last moment came to an agreement with the Maple Leafs on a contract extension last weekend.

He had great clips of the skating and the longer the duel against the Bruins in the TD Garden went, the better was also the timing of the responses.

But the team has lost some of its sting, looked more sluggish than usual, brought upon themselves a plethora of stupid penalties and went fairly well deserved on a 6-3-whack.
