Time and time again the Maple Leafs core has failed to execute at the worst times. After a strong Game 4, can they rewrite the narrative?

a lot of slavin love
For non Athetic subs
In fact, Jaccob Slavin is the only defenseman still playing who has been on for fewer goals against per 60. Slavin just so happens to be the only player whose Defensive Rating is higher than Schenn’s plus-1.8 during these playoffs.
Before the second round began I noted that
a big problem against the Islanders was Carolina’s depth scoring. With
Sebastian Aho on the ice, the team scored 4.9 goals per 60 at five-on-five, but without him that dropped to 1.1. Safe to say that hasn’t been a problem against the
Devils.
In 48 minutes the Hurricanes have scored 3.8 goals per 60 with Aho on the ice in the second round, but without him they’ve scored 4.7 goals per 60 in 151 minutes. That’s night and day from Round 1. Thank
Jordan Martinook for that first and foremost — he somehow has nine points against New Jersey with six coming at even strength.
