put together a night of firsts to end the New Jersey Devils’ remarkable winning streak.
John Tavares also scored in Toronto’s first game without Morgan Rielly as the Leafs continued a remarkable streak of their own: 10 consecutive games against the Devils earning at least a point .“That was a playoff style hockey game,” said Tavares. “We got off to a really good start and put oursselves in a really good spot. And then from there played a a smart hockey game and stuck with it knowing that they were going to push.
Devils fans felt robbed. Fans littered the ice with debris, and chanted “referees suck” after Erik Haula’s kicked-in goal — shorthanded — was disallowed halfway through the third. The Leafs left the ice, briefly, for security reasons with cups and bottles raining down. Ice scrapers had to come out to scrape away the stains of the drinks that spilled from the bottles.
But the Leafs’ good fortune came with a price. Another defenceman — Jordie Benn — left the game. He left halfway through the second period, hunched over, nursing his mid-section and gamely started the third, but only played a few shifts before leaving for good.Assisting on Tavares’s goal, Mitch Marner established a personal high 14-game points streak, the longest active streak in the NHL and the first Leaf to record a point in 14 straight games since Dave Andreychuk in the 1993-94 season.
