NHL Live Full Game Reactions Regular Season Game 3 Chicago Blackhawks @Toronto Maple Leafs
11#CSP #NHL #LEAFSNATION
Dating back to the start of the 2022-23 season, while it’s true they’ve only had Connor Bedard in their ranks for the last three games, no NHL team has scored fewer goals than the Blackhawks at 2.46 per game. For a Leafs team looking to tighten things up in the defensive zone after conceding nine goals through two games, it should be just what the doctor ordered.
Bedard has thus far produced three points in two games, all at even strength, and his line with Taylor Hall and Ryan Donato is the Blackhawks’ only one (by a large margin) that has broken even in shots and scoring chances. It’s clearly a Chicago team that the Leafs are capable of running over with their vastly superior depth, but this is the NHL and this is the Leafs, who need to prove that they’ve turned the page on their tendency from last season of playing down to bottom-feeders. Bedard’s first appearance at the center of the hockey universe (opposite Auston Matthews) will certainly add a bit of juice to this matchup, not to mention Corey Perry (three points in three games and playing on the top power play in Chicago) often brings his best for games in Toronto.
The season debut of Joseph Woll comes at a time when Ilya Samsonov has not gotten off to the hottest of starts by any means. Clearly, the timing of this start for Woll has nothing to do with Samsonov’s play so far and everything to do with the lack of back-to-backs in the first stretch of the schedule; the Leafs won’t play twice in two nights until the middle of November, and Woll needs playing time to gain traction early in the season, especially after missing a preseason start due to illness.
This is a scheduled start for Woll through and through. That said, if Woll is going to push for more starts this season — and begin chipping away at a #1/#2 situation, turning it into more of a 1A/1B situation over time — it’s a good time to start by putting on a quality performance tonight.
