The Leafs had more chances to win the game in overtime, but couldn't find the precision it takes to score in high-pressure situations, and after they nearly ended it in the Rangers' zone, the Blueshirts came back the other way on a 2-on-1 rush. Andersen made a spectacular left pad save to keep the play alive, but Rangers winger Ryan Strome poked the game-winner past him with 3:12 left in OT.
The Leafs will turn their attention on their next opponent, the Florida Panthers. With another strong defensive effort tonight, the Leafs will continue to focus on scoring first and removing the need to chase the game as things tighten up and teams clamp down in their own end.
