The Toronto Maple Leafs lost 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. It was their second straight defeat, following a 3-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on Friday. Despite showing effort and competing well, the Maple Leafs struggled with penalties and defensive lapses.
Coach Craig Berube shared his thoughts after the game, saying Pittsburgh’s power play made the difference, scoring two important goals. Berube felt the team worked hard but needed more urgency in critical moments. He highlighted the 6-on-4 situation late in the game as an area where they fell short.
"Their power play got a couple of goals. I thought it was a pretty solid game," he said. "We worked and competed. We took too many penalties. At the end of the game on the 6-on-4, we have to come up with a better play there and a little more urgency in our play, in my opinion."
