The Maple Leafs’ fourth line appeared to handle the day’s Par Lindholm trade news just fine, thank you, with both Gauthier and Tyler Ennis hopping in on the second-period goal party. Call-up Trevor Moore, expected to get a long look this time, added an assist for his fourth point in just eight NHL games.
“Probably our best line,” Matthews beamed. “Moorsey’s a nice addition with that speed. He just makes stuff happen every time he’s out there.” With his ninth as a Leaf, Ennis — a prime example of what fresh scenery and some new development advise can do for a player’s career — needed just 37 games in Toronto to exceed last season’s goal total over 73 games with the Wild.
Babcock had made no bones about his desire for Dubas to add heaviness to his forward group, and, yes, the team expressed interest in the top two rentals who potentially could’ve fit that bill. Wayne Simmonds went to Nashville for a price the Leafs were unwilling to pay and Michael Ferlund was kept by the Hurricanes, now within striking distance of the post-season.
