Hours before his 10th NHL game, Rasmus Sandin said it was still “surreal” to think he’d earned a regular job with the MapleLeafs. Then, the rookie got his first NHL goal and added an assist in the win over the PredsNHL. (reporterchris)

“Just his confidence,” said Keefe, when asked why the rookie was continuing to dress. “His ability to … continue to make plays and help us on the breakout and in the offensive zone, power play. A lot of those types of things that Morgan brings to our team, he’s able to do those things as well.

“It’s a good chance for us to give him valuable experience here that can help both he and our team going forward. So we’re excited to continue to give him that look.” Sandin hasn’t looked remotely out of place despite his age and relative inexperience. Remember that this month started with him dominating the world junior tournament for Sweden and included a return to the American Hockey League until Rielly got injured blocking a shot.

Given how hectic the last few weeks have been, Sandin appreciated being given the bye week and all-star break off. He travelled to Florida with a couple of buddies and relaxed in the sun. Now he’s playing a key role for a Leafs team that moved within two points of the Florida Panthers for the Atlantic Division’s final playoff spot with a big win at Bridgestone Arena.
