Game Review: William Nylander, Joseph Woll drag Maple Leafs to victory in Calgary

Tonight’s opening shift perfectly set the tone for the 40 minutes to follow: Calgary put the puck in deep, cycled and outworked the Maple Leafs, and then William Nylander did something good.

Jake McCabe, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Troy Stecher ended up picking up the slack and played a ton down ...
