The first period was pretty dull affair, with just five chances and no goals. An early marker in the second put Toronto ahead, and they could have added to it, with a number of chances coming after that, but were unable to. Calgary took advantage, seizing the second half of the period, getting the last 4 chances of the frame and an equalizing goal.
The two teams then contested a back and forth third period, exchanging early chances. The Leafs, for the first time in a while, got the bounces they needed, one goal going in off a Calgary skate and Clarkson getting free for a third. Russell pulled one back almost immediately, but the Leafs were able to hold on in the last 12 minutes, holding Calgary to 3 ES chances, while generating two themselves. Russell had a chance late, with the Flame net empty, but put it wide, and the Leafs had a win.
For the first time since the game with Montreal, the Leafs managed to outchance an opponent at ES, winning the first two periods, and holding on in the third. Toronto also narrowly won ES close chances, 8-7.

After having a miserable game on Saturday, it was a great bounce back for Nazem Kadri, who, along with the long suffering David Clarkson, were team-high +4s. The top line all fell in the negative, but JVR was on for 5 ES Leaf chances, equal with Kadri and Clarkson. Kessel's -2 was tied for team-worst, along with Lupul and Bolland, neither of whom generated much.
A good night for Jake Gardiner, +2 and on for a team-best six chances. However, the best result on the back end came from the returning Paul Ranger, who, in his first game back from his injury against Tampa Bay was a +3. Tim Gleason was the worst on the defence, -2 in 12 minutes.
