The Toronto Maple Leafs struggled in their recent matchup against the Ottawa Senators, suffering a 3-0 defeat that highlighted their current injury woes. Without key players like Auston Matthews and Max Pacioretty, the Leafs appeared disjointed and lacked cohesion throughout the game.
Leafs coach Craig Berube expressed disappointment in the team's performance, noting they were outskated and failed to build momentum. Despite a strong power play in previous games, they couldn't capitalize this time, going 0-for-4.
As they prepare for their next game against the Washington Capitals, the Leafs aim to regain their form and celebrate Oliver Ekman-Larsson's milestone of 1,000 career games.
