Utah Hockey Club was unable to complete the third-period comeback and lost 3-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday night.
Utah Hockey Club proved this true in Sunday night’s 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena in which a slow and sloppy second period made moot of the team’s stronger showings in the first and third.
Despite playing in its first back-to-back game of the season, Utah had pace and energy in the first period after coming off a 6-1 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Utah’s power-play success carried over and the team scored its fourth goal on the man advantage in two games during Sunday’s first period in Toronto.
Utah took four penalties in the second period, limiting its 5-on-5 opportunities. Toronto unleashed 16 shots on goal while Utah had just six. McBain brought Utah within one to open the third period. The 6-foot-4 forward forced his way into the shooting lane in front of the net where he deflected in Cooley’s shot from the point for the 3-2 scoreline at 1:51. McBain has seven goals on the season, including four in his last six games. With the tally, McBain passed captain Clayton Keller for second-most goals for Utah.
“I think we showed a lot of resilience in the third,” McBain said. “I thought we played really well and dominated in the third. Too bad we couldn’t get it done, but a lot to build on.”
