The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost FIVE straight games after falling 5-2 to the Minnesota Wild at Scotiabank Arena!Zack Phillips is live for another edition of Leafs Nation After Dark to break down another frustrating night for the Leafs.
Auston Matthews and Zack MacEwen scored less than three minutes apart in the second period to give Toronto a 2-1 lead, but Matt Boldy took over with a hat trick as Minnesota scored four unanswered goals to secure the win.
Anthony Stolarz made 21 saves in the loss, while Kirill Kaprizov picked up three assists and Jesper Wallstedt stopped 26 shots for the Wild. Toronto has now lost seven of its last eight games and sits at 8-11-2 on the season.
Zack breaks down another blown lead, Toronto's defensive mistakes, Jim Hiller's lineup decisions and the growing pressure on the Leafs as they continue to slide down the standings.
With Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers coming to town on Saturday, can the Leafs find a way to turn things around?
