TORONTO — Even if Saturday’s 4-0 Maple Leafs win over the Nashville Predators was a bit light on entertainment, it felt like exactly the kind of game Sheldon Keefe would want from his team. Outside of a few errors in their own zone courtesy of some of the team’s bottom four defencemen, the Leafs put up a fairly low event and dominant, structured performance. Defensively they excelled, too.
Preds ain’t nothing to sniff at. Leafs are starting to hit their stride. Now comes the tough part of the season, and they have to do their best to stay healthy.
