Goalie Spencer Martin kept them in it for chance to win it
However, the Maple Leafs would find their stride and the Canucks would lose their suspect structure to allow three goals in the first 10 minutes of the second period, It forced Bruce Boudreau to call a time-out in hopes of stemming the tide and not letting the game slip away.He wasn’t really at fault for the second-period slide because the defending was atrocious and his third-period save off a streaking Pierre Engvall kept the Canucks close.
Martin had to then make a well-timed sprawl to deny Denis Malgin on a breakaway. He then held his ground again on a backhander and rebound sequence. Another mosh-pit style defending forced Martin, who had lost his stick in the scramble, to deny Calle Jarnkrok and nobody boxed out a wide-open Engvall. Benn was then left untouched at the post to easily pot a Morgan Rielly rebound.
