Maple Leafs report cards: Stars struggle in another disappointing loss to Blues - eviltoast

Another disappointing loss for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Leafs were expected to get out to a strong start in response to a disastrous performance against Columbus on Tuesday, but it was the St. Louis that took a 2-0 lead heading into the first intermission. Oliver Ekman-Larsson briefly pulled his team within one, but Toronto struggled on special teams and surrendered far too many odd-man rushes.

The Leafs outshot the Blues, but they still lost 5-1 to a mediocre team that was missing its star centre. The overall team grade is a D+.
