Presence of Borje Salming lifts Maple Leafs in comeback win over Canucks Via sunhornby
Head coach Sheldon Keefe was hoping at some point of the back-to-back home games, that Salming’s brave appearance as he struggles with Lou Gehrig’s Disease would give them a lift.
“It’s not just to honour the legacy of Borje, it’s all part of their own legacy and you want to be remembered.” But the first came against Toronto’s revamped fourth line. Engvall losing the draw, the Canucks controlling and Bo Horvat escaping Justin Holl enough to tip in a Luke Schenn shot. After Engvall’s goal, another press resulted in defenceman Jordie Benn jumping up for his first goal as a Leaf as he replaced an injured TJ Brodie.Article contentGiven a choice between Erik Kallgren on a back-to-back, playing Matt Murray a bit ahead of schedule from a healing groin injury or risking raw rookie Keith Petruzzelli, Keefe gambled Kallgren still had fuel and new lines would generate some 5-on-5 offence.
