DeBrusk then extended it to 3-0 at 15:02, beating Samsonov with a wrist shot from above the right face-off circle on the power play.
“I just wanted to play a fast, hard forechecking style,” DeBrusk said. “I didn’t put numbers or anything on it. Obviously, I think the biggest thing that we talk about, even in the room, is we stay in the moment, so I didn’t actually set any goals. I just wanted to help the team any way I can.”
DeBrusk scored on the power play again at 17:34, knocking in Marchand’s pass at the top of the crease to push it to 4-0.
“It’s obviously a very skilled team over there,” Toronto forward Mitch Marner said. “When you give them a lot of power plays, they’re going to start feeling really good about their game.”
Kampf cut the lead to 4-1 at 1:39 of the third period. Connor Dewar retrieved a rebound and sent a backhand feed to Kampf for a one-timer in the slot.
Trent Frederic scored an empty-net goal at 17:52 for the 5-1 final.
“I think we stuck to the game plan really well,” Swayman said. “It starts with our coaching staff giving us one to be effective against this team. They’re obviously a great team and they forecheck well, and I think that our game plan was excellent.”
