@leafschronicle.bsky.socialAuston Matthews on Gavin McKenna not having a shift after halfway through the second period:
“Those things kind of happen sometimes. I think everybody's been in that situation before, and it's not necessarily a situation you want to be in but we've all got his back …
@leafschronicle.bsky.socialToronto:
• Most Goals (28)
• PP% - 29.6%
• PK% - 96.2% (first in the league)
• FO% - 52.4%
among the Atlantic
However, they have allowed the second-most goals (27) & have the third-worst team SV% (.889) among Atlantic teams.
They're 3-3-2 , 0-2-1 vs the Atlantic.
@leafschronicle.bsky.socialJames Mirtle on the JD Bunkis Podcast thinks the Leafs want to get a look at Ben Danford (assuming before they look at making a trade).
@leafschronicle.bsky.socialKirill Marchenko recorded a hat trick to extend his point streak to 6 games (4 G, 4 A).
He is the 8th player in NHL history to record a hat trick in his 300th career game, and 1st since teammate Jack Roslovic did so in 2022.
@leafschronicle.bsky.socialHe is practicing with the #TorontoMarlies today. This is his first full practice with the #AHL team.
@leafschronicle.bsky.socialThe Toronto Maple Leafs have sent F Dakota Joshua to the #TorontoMarlies on a conditioning loan.
He has been on IR with an abdomen injury, per PuckPedia.

@leafschronicle.bsky.socialMaple Leafs head coach Jim Hiller on Gavin McKenna's mid-game benching:
"that was my decision. We went for a stretch, he sat through the penalties. Now that I've say him for so long, I probably should've got him out in the third."
