from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,

This story of this one-goal game can be boiled down to one play.

And, no, that play is not Auston Matthews' game-winning goal in overtime to allow his Toronto Maple Leafs to escape with a 1-0 victory and steal two ugly points from the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. (Even Matthews is happy to concede that.)

The play of grave concern and wonderful consequence occurred in the second period, with the Maple Leafs' star-studded top power-play unit extending its shift and principles Matthews and Mitch Marner committing an atrocious line change as the Jets' penalty killers rushed against the grain.

Toronto's best players' lack of detail paved way for the rare shorthanded 2-on-0 rush.

"Not typical moment, yeah?" Ilya Samsonov thought, as killers Morgan Barron and Adam Lowry came barrelling down on his crease untouched in a 0-0 goalie duel.

Tic-tac-toe, Lowery and Barron played catch with each other. One ripped a shot, the other tried pounding home an uncontested rebound.

Samsonov stoned them both, while Matthews and Marner were busy catching their breath safely on the bench.
