Mistakes continuing to cost slumping Maple Leafs
The Maple Leafs had worked hard to get back on level terms.
Toronto's Maple Leafs suffered a 6-3 defeat to Colorado on Tuesday night, their sixth loss in seven games following a 4-0 shutout to New Jersey on Sunday. In the second period, Easton Cowan missed a shot to cut the deficit to 3-1. Jack Roslovic tied the game with an individual effort early in the third before Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog scored his second goal of the night, leaving the Maple Leafs trailing once again.
Head coach Jim Hiller blamed multiple poor decisions, stating that a veteran team cannot afford to make a string of mistakes. With injuries to key players like Kirill Marchenko, Morgan Rielly, and Colton Sisson, as well as Tavares and Tanev, Hiller admitted that the team has had both great and poor moments, but not enough great ones together to overcome the inopportune setbacks.
