Aho, empty net. 3-1 Carolina with 54.7 seconds left. #Leafs
#Canes going on their 4th PP of the game. Mitch Marner called for, you guessed it, tripping. 2-1 CAR | 4:15 3rd
The #Canes come up with a massive penalty kill to start the back half of the third period. No shots for the Leafs on their third try of the night and Carolina is now three-for-three when shorthanded this evening. We're still 2-1 with 6:23 on the clock. https://t.co/8c5NcrPNzR

#Canes on the PK, Burns called for tripping 2-1 CAR | 9:53 3rd

Liljegren gets one back for the Leafs. 2-1 #Canes lead. 15:38 3rd
Liljegren scores his first of the season at 5:16. Domi feed. Carolina lead is cut to 2-1. #Leafs
Timothy Liljegren with a timely first goal of the season to put the #Leafs on the board. 2-1 CAR.
40 minutes down, 20 (or more) to go. 2-0, #Canes. What else can be said about the power play right now? Just insane production. Thank goodness Kochetkov appears to be actually okay too, he's having a wonderful night.
Jarvis, 2-0 Carolina. Make that 2-for-2 on the PP. #Leafs
Domi, holding at 13:40. Carolina 1-for-1 on the PP tonight. #Leafs
Not 1, Not 2, Not 3 but FOUR huuuuge saves by Pyotr & his lost goalie stick. Not sure how the puck didnβt go in but the #Canes will take it. Stays 1-0 Hurricanes 10:33 2nd
Pyotr Kochetkov is indeed back between the pipes for the second period. Great to see after a few tense moments there late in the first. On the other hand, the #Canes will be down to 11 forwards the rest of the way without Jesper Fast. https://t.co/F8ZGUKGewl
That looked like the most harmless shot but Luke makes it count and #NJDevils have the 2-0 lead. Just before, at the other end of the nice, Luke was nearly crushed to death between Pastrnak and Zacha. He popped up, found the puck in the neutral zone and breezed in for his goal.
After 20: Michael Bunting gets the loan goal for the #Canes in the most poetic way against his former team. PK units look good. Kochetkov has been dialed in, hope heβs okay after being shaken up. Hope Fast is okay as well after his head bounced off the glass. 1-0 CAR | End 1st
Done with 20 minutes in Toronto. 1-0, #Canes. The power play set the tone early with yet another goal, continuing their impressive month. You hope Pyotr Kochetkov is truly okay after appearing in some discomfort following a diving bid late in the frame. https://t.co/jCkYhvk1dh
1-0 Carolina after one. Shots on goal 11-10 #Leafs
Huge save from Kochetkov! Looks like it bounced off of Slavin and he had to really stretch out to keep the puck from floating into the net. Pyotr looks shaken up. 1-0 CAR | 3:03 1st
The #Canes came within inches of extending their lead to 2-0 inside the first 11 minutes, but Auston Matthews comes up with a goal-saving effort. That's a heck of a play. https://t.co/0oN7TeNivB
Check your pulses, Caniacs. Kochetkov with the huge save on a Leafs breakaway. Keeps it 1-0 #Canes before the halfway mark of the period. 13:05 1st
Welcome back! Michael Bunting opens the scoring for the #Canes in Toronto, striking on the power play inside the first three minutes!
Bunting, 1-0 Hurricanes. PPG comes at 2:24. #Leafs
No morning skate for the #Canes today in Toronto, but Rod Brind'Amour confirmed yesterday that Pyotr Kochetkov will start this evening. #52 has been mostly outstanding as of late, allowing just 14 goals in his last seven starts. https://t.co/TtWhkdVgx7
