The winner was pure Willie magic -- he had just come over the boards and took a stretch pass from Mitch Marner at the offensive blue line, and he wired the puck past Jacob Markstrom's glove on a breakaway.

The Leafs’ offensive approach under Craig Berube depends on a hard and heavy forecheck, point shots and bodies around the net. “We gotta find a way to generate shots and get them through and have more traffic there,” Berube said over the weekend. “I didn’t think we won any of the rebound battles.”
