The Leafs won’t be happy with that second period. They spent most of the 20 minutes on their heels. Not only did the Sens generate 27 shot attempts at five on five, to just six for the Leafs, they also managed five high-danger attempts, to just one for the Leafs.

Ottawa also, crucially, got on the board on the power play via a Nick Robertson o-zone penalty that will not endear him to head coach Craig Berube.
