Leafs look to bounce back after dismantling on Long Island. kristen_shilton has MORE:
TORONTO – It may be late in the NHL regular season, but school is still very much in session for the Maple Leafs as they try to bounce back from a 6-1 dismantling by the New York Islanders on Thursday with a re-grouped effort Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.
One such occasion of that was last Monday night, when the visiting Sabres outplayed the Leafs through 20 minutes andhad put his team up 1-0. Toronto charged back with four unanswered goals in the second, ceded the next two scores to Buffalo, and then secured their 5-3 victory with an empty-netter. It’s been some time since the 23-year-old forward has had a chance to play, appearing in only 13 contests all season for the Jets and last suiting up on Dec. 22. That makes it a full 10 weeks between that game and tonight for Petan, but he resolved to stay positive through the tough time and will strive to bring speed and offence to his new role with the Leafs.
Petan said Babcock’s main message was to play well in the defensive zone, and “everything [else] will take over if you just work hard.”
