Maple Leafs bury sagging Sabres thanks to Nylander, Tavares Via sunhornby
In the morning, Keefe was asked about Pierre Engvall not using his 6-foot-5 dimensions more effectively and replied he’s coached the Swede long enough in the AHL and NHL to live with that incongruity. He cited Engvall’s speed as one of his unappreciated skills and the winger showed that by getting deep quickly to centre for Calle Jarnkrok’s fourth of the season.
Buffalo got one back on the power play, Matthews flagged for an illegal check to the head, though he and Casey Mittelstadt appeared to be on a collision course more than any intent on the Leaf’s part. Still, that’s five minors for Matthews this year, more than halfway to his career high of penalty minutes. Matthews also served a two-game suspension last season for a hit on Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlen in the outdoor game in Hamilton.
Keefe didn’t see it as an opportunity to rest his stars or go with frequent scratches Wayne Simmonds and Nick Robertson. He’s came back with Thursday’s lineup from an overtime loss to New Jersey.Article content
