There was more goaltending intrigue for Toronto on Friday night, as well.
Senators captain Brady Tkachuk led the way with two goals, while alternate captain Thomas Chabot, Derick Brassard, Drake Batherson and Claude Giroux also scored. Tim Stutzle had a pair of assists and repeatedly zig-zagged through the Maple Leafs defence. Anton Forsberg, who will carry the ball in goal while Cam Talbot sits out because of a lower-body injury, made 31 saves for the win.

After the Maple Leafs’ William Nylander tied the game 2-2 on a power play, Brassard restored Ottawa’s one-goal lead with a power-play goal of his own. It came after the Maple Leafs’ Timothy Liljegren accidentally tapped the puck into his own net. Maple Leafs centre John Tavares battles for the puck with Senators right-winger Claude Giroux in front of goaltender Anton Forsberg during the first period on Friday night.“Coming in, we knew they were a good team and I thought we just went at them,” said Batherson. “We didn’t sit back. I’ve found that in years past, we would just sit back and watch them play. At times, they had a good push, but we came back and answered with a big goal or a big play.
Following the game, Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe was vague on what happened. Keefe said that Murray has been bothered with something that “flared up” and wouldn’t allow him to play.
