Leafs Can’t Close The Door On The Sharks

Everything seemed to be going well for the Maple Leafs in their game last night against the San Jose Sharks until a deflection off a point shot on a power play early in the third period seemed to transfer the momentum to the Sharks. They would eventually score the tying goal and force the Leafs to settle for a 2-2 tie. Disappointing this was for the Leafs who were in control for the first two periods of the game.

Alex Mogilny and Mats Sundin played very well each recording a goal and an assist. Mogilny recorded the Maple Leafs first shorthanded goal of the season when he scored at 8:18 of the second period. Sundin’s goal was a power play marker.

Mikael Tellqvist played in his second game in a row and as he has done throughout the year when he has been given the start, he played very well. He had no chance on the first Sharks goal and the second was also somewhat fluky. Belfour will probably start on Tuesday as the Leafs start the second half of their road trip, specifically the Canadian portion.
