Leafs-Senators takeaways: Stolarz gets a passing grade, Senators dominate odd rushes

We are now seventeen games into the season, but this was by far the worst performance the Toronto Maple Leafs have put together under Craig Berube’s watch, falling to a 3-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

Josh Norris scored 41 seconds into the game, Tim Stutzle and Michael Amadio added insurance goals for the Senators, while the Maple Leafs’ offense, especially at 5-on-5, completely dried up. Toronto allowed a season-worst 40 shots on goal and was blanked for the second time this season.

“We just really loved our game,” Maple Leafs forward John Tavares said after the game. “I think they clearly had some legs early on, our legs weren’t great. We haven’t managed the game very well, we’re kind of sticking to it. We just got away from what brought us success. Because we were inconsistent, we couldn’t really build momentum all night.”

Anthony Stolarz gets the only pass in this area. Here are three takeaways from the Maple Leafs’ 3-0 loss to the Senators.
