From kristen_shilton: Leafs struggle to get back on track in loss to last-place Sens. MORE:
The Maple Leafs wanted to get back on track Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, but instead dropped their second straight in a 4-2 decision, despite outplaying the Senators for much of the game.Auston Matthewsmounted a comeback in the third period that ultimately fell short. The Leafs are now 4-4-3 in their last 11 games, with only four remaining before the end of the regular season.
While the Leafs were working overtime to solve Anderson, Sparks gave up another five-hole strike, this time to, on only the 12th shot of the game given up by Toronto. Paajarvi has scored five of his 11 goals this season against the Leafs. It was Sparks who backstopped the Leafs in that lopsided loss two weeks ago, and then called out his team for not showing enough “emotion” in their game. That alone should have been a little extra incentive for the netminder to produce a better showing this time around. He played a tidy first period while turning aside seven shots, which marked the first time Sparks hadn’t given up a goal in the opening frame of a game since Nov. 24.
The Leafs didn’t let up offensively despite being down a pair, and clawed back with two goals early in the third. Barely a minute into the game being 2-2, though, Sparks was beat again, high this time by Ceci. It was a well-placed shot that the goalie had less chance of stopping but put the Leafs back on their heels again none the less.
