Toronto has played three games since the controversial coach Mike Babcock got fired last week. And won all.
- Some things the new coach has added to our system have given us more speed. We wear down the opponents, says two-time shooter Andreas Johnsson to the Toronto Sun.
After 3-0 in the first period, the remaining three goals were made in the second period - one by William Nylander and two by Andreas Johnsson. The two Swedes are also noted for each assist.
Nylander set the fireNylanders 4-0 came after a minute's play in the period. Johnsson did 5-0 a few minutes later by using a skate to cut a puck from Nylander.
- I was just trying to stick to the goal, I really didn't see anything and suddenly the referee comes and points at the goal. Then I look at the replay that I had gotten it in with my skate, says Johnsson.
The Swede then froze for seven of the second period minutes to 6-0 when he scored the final goal of the powerplay.
Toronto's Danish goalkeeper Frederik Andersen held zero for the seventh time in the NHL.
