Game 55 Scoring Chances and Zone Entries: Hawks 7 vs. Leafs 2

For the second time this year, the Maple Leafs gave up seven goals on the road, as they were no match for Chicago.

They were behind 2-0 after the first period, and an early powerplay goal extended the lead even further. From then on, Chicago was able to pull away, although the Leafs did at least manage a couple of late markers.

Team	Chances	1st	2nd	3rd	ES	ESClose	ESCh%	NZEnt%	ContEnt
Tor	17	3	9	5	10	2	37.0%	52.6%	44.3%
Chi	24	11	3	10	17	7	63.0%	47.4%	38.1%

Chicago dominated the chances, even though they let up somewhat once they got a big lead. Toronto’s neutral zone numbers look good, but that was down to the Leafs being behind, as they built a large chunk of that lead in the third period.

After Toronto had the first chance of the game, they were totally dominated for the next 20 minutes, a stretch that saw Chicago outchance them 12-3, and get three goals. The Leafs had some fightback late in the second but didn’t score, and the Blackhawks put the foot down on the Leafs‘ collective throats in the third, opening with nine of the first eleven chances.

Nazem Kadri returned to the lineup, and rejoined his old line of Leo Komarov and Michael Grabner. That line actually had a decent night, up against Jonathan Toews, as they managed to hold possession even, and Kadri managed to finish above even in chance differential. Peter Holland’s line, which faced a match-up with Patrick Kane, also had good overall chance numbers, with all three players on that line finishing at least even, though they had poor numbers at preventing controlled entries. The bottom two lines were badly overmatched. The fourth line played only eight ES minutes, almost all of it against the Chicago fourth line. While they had good Corsi numbers, the chances went badly against them, with Rich Clune and Brad Boyes both finishing at -4. Colin Greening, playing with P.A. Parenteau and Mark Arcobello, mostly matched up against the Teravainen line and had similarly poor results.

Matt Hunwick and Morgan Rielly mostly matched up against the Kane line. While they didn’t play a lot at ES due to all the power-plays and the lopsided score, they had rough numbers. Rielly was one of the weaker defencemen in terms of chances, finishing at a -4. Jake Gardiner and Roman Polak were the only pairing that finished above even, which was impressive, given that Gardiner didn’t play a single offensive zone start. The pairing of Martin Marincin and Frank Corrado got relatively soft minutes, but, like the bottom lines, they struggled. Marincin was on for a team worst 8 ES chances against.
