October 25, 2023 by The Old Prof
In a game against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs rode the great goalie play of Joseph Woll to leave the US capital with a 4-1 win. In this game, the big guns were firing. Auston Matthews picked up his seventh goal of the season, with Morgan Rielly, John Tavares, and William Nylander also adding to the goal-scoring.
However, it was Woll’s exceptional performance between the pipes that sent former Maple Leafs’ assistant and now head coach of the Capitals Spencer Carbery to his team’s fourth loss in five games. Interestingly, Rielly’s goal was the first score by a Maple Leafs defenceman this season. Tavares and Nylander also extended their impressive season-opening point streaks to six games. Both are having great starts to the season.
