It was a comeback win from the Leafs in Tampa Bay. Matt Knies brought the buds back with two goals in the third, sandwiched by goals from William Nylander in the first and John Tavares in overtime (though at first I thought it was Nylander off Kucherov). The Leafs were utterly dominant on the shot map, 52-33, including five shots to zero in overtime.

Recap: Knies makes his mark in Tampa once again
Samsonov got Kuched. Knies avenged him and sent the game to OT.

Maple Leafs’ Matthew Knies ‘just scratching the surface’ in comeback win
Saturday marked yet another memorable overtime night in Amalie for Matthew Knies, as the rookie ripped his first regular-season NHL goal, swiftly echoed by his second, two third-period beauties to help fuel Toronto’s dramatic 4-3 comeback victory over their fierce rival.

On the Marlies, Nick Robertson was targeted with a high hit way after the puck was gone. He was fine and played the next shift, but it's a good chance to address the narrativization that is the phrase "injury prone."

Veeti Miettinen tapped in a rebound to stay a PPG in the NCAA.

Hudson Malinoski banshee screamed for the puck like a 12-year-old, got it, and scored on the power play.

Travis Dermott was seen using Pride Tape last night. Brian Burke has said he will pay the fines for any NHL player who uses the "outlawed" Pride Tape.
