#3 Anthony Stolarz

Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Anthony Stolarz had a solid bounce-back game. After showing some less-than-stellar play this season, Stolarz showed up for the Leafs on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old made several key saves to bail out his club early in the game.

The goal came on a mad scramble in front of the Calgary net. Auston Matthews did a fantastic job of keeping the play alive by sweeping the puck in front. There, Knies fought off a challenge from the Flames’ defenseman to tap the puck into the open cage.

Knies had a big night, totaling two goals and one assist. His helper in the game-winning tally was crucial in helping the Maple Leafs get the two points at home.

The sequence started with two dreadful turnovers by the Flames. Jake McCabe did a fantastic job of keeping the puck in the zone. Calgary failed to clear the zone, allowing John Tavares to keep the play alive.

The Maple Leafs will be back on the ice on Wednesday night as they face the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
