The Toronto Maple Leafs earned a statement win over the defending Stanley Cup Champions beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti discuss the big night for Auston Matthews who tied Rick Vaive with his 54th goal of the season as he looks to add his name to the Leafs record books. They look at why this performance encapsulates the typical dominance we have come to see from Matthews this season and why he still hasn't reached his ceiling yet. In their three stars of the night, Mike and Dave give a special shoutout to Mitch Marner's rise in the NHL scoring race and how he has been a totally different player in 2022. Jack Campbell's stellar performance in goal has given the Leafs more reason to feel comfortable in their goaltending position and why this was an important night given he outduelled Andrei Vasilevskiy. To end the show, Mike and Dave discuss why this season continues to feel different for the Leafs and their chances in the playoffs. What the lineup could look like in Florida against the Panthers. Who comes in for Jake Muzzin as he gets ready to return? Mike and Dave offer their thoughts on the most ideal defensive pairings.
