The Toronto Maple Leafs lit up the ice Monday night, delivering a commanding 6-2 win over the Calgary Flames in front of an electrified home crowd. With Auston Matthews leading the charge, Toronto’s offense was firing on all cylinders, reminding fans why they’re still a force to be reckoned with this season.
Matthews on Fire, Special Teams Shine
Matthews put on a clinic with two power-play goals and an assist, proving once again why he’s one of the NHL’s most dangerous scorers. William Nylander also dazzled, racking up a goal and two assists, while Max Domi, Nicholas Robertson, and Bobby McMann all found the back of the net in a relentless Leafs attack.
Goaltender Joseph Woll stood tall, turning aside 24 shots to keep Calgary at bay. Toronto’s power play was unstoppable, capitalizing on key opportunities and keeping the Flames on their heels all night.
Flames Melt Under Pressure
Calgary struck twice with goals from Rasmus Andersson and Kevin Bahl, but it wasn’t enough to stop the Leafs’ offensive storm. Flames goalie Dustin Wolf struggled, allowing five goals before being pulled in the third.
Adding to the spectacle, the Leafs took the ice in special St. Patrick’s-inspired white and green jerseys, paying homage to their historic past while putting on a performance worthy of celebration.
Momentum Shift? Leafs Look to Build on Big Win
With just two wins in their last seven games, this victory couldn’t have come at a better time for Toronto. Can they turn this momentum into a winning streak as they face off against the powerhouse Colorado Avalanche on March 19?
