‘It Would Have Been A Lot Nicer To Get A Win And Not Score’: Scott Laughton Records First Goal With Maple Leafs Despite Shootout Loss To Sharks

After a slow start, Toronto Maple Levis was playing with a knee throughout the night in a 6-5 loss to photograph sharks in San Jose on Thursday.
Despite the brave effort at the last minute of the organization, Toronto’s attempt to organize a return has appeared. Lower 5-3, they scored twice in 44 seconds to force the additional work and earn a point, push the total of the regular season points to 90 points and restore the only possession of the first position in the Atlantic section.
However, two points against sharks were absent this season – who ranked last in the league – fell both the two competitions in an exchange of fire.
Nevertheless, a bright point was obtained in Leafs, the Scott Luton striker who scored his first goal and a point as a team member.
The outcome came at 15:13 from the second period to reduce the deficit to one, making it 4-3 degrees. His goal broke up 15 games that extend to his time with the Philadelphia Flames team, where he got his first games in 10 games in Toronto.
The 30 -year -old played a strong game in the offensive area, carrying the scepter in half of the wall before he reduced the house away from David Campf, overcoming the shark goalkeeper Alexander Georgiv.

It was an important moment for Akville, on the original, who was working hard to settle in his new role with Maple Leafs.
“It was great, perhaps my own confidence, and it is good to get one for sure. It was possible to get a victory and not score,” Laughon admitted after the match. “I know my role in this team, and it is clear that the contribution is nice, but I know what I should bring daily, and I started to feel more comfortable. I started playing a little better. So, it’s a good thing for myself, but you want to get these two points.”
The main coach, Craig Perub, had previously urged Loton to stop thinking about his game, and urged him to get rid and play freely.
As the post -season season approaches, we hope this will be a step in the right direction of Laughon, which adapts to his new environment and works to find his rhythm after joining Leafs in a trade on March 7.
His colleagues know the extent to which he achieved the goal of such a goal.
Nileander said: “A lot of fun seeing him holds a house.” “The first goal as a huge card. I am happy with it.”
“Yes, he was huge. I think he is from Toronto and everything is coming here very exciting. Many of us know different things. But he was an unrealistic man coming here. He brings great energy every day despite everything he comes to.”
His rank was previously reduced to the fourth line, the “identity line”, amid the struggles and was recently developed with Max Domi and Nick Robertson on the left wing of the third line in the past matches. On Thursday, the 12th-year veteran scored 12:28 from the time of ICE Time, where he scored two shots on the goal, two, and two blocks, with the Plus-1 classification to go with its goal.
When at its best, Laughon can provide physical, depth and stability. His game in San Jose was a major indication of his capabilities, and he is now looking to build on his last momentum by providing multiple strong matches in a row.
Matthews said: “It was great to see him getting a goal tonight. I thought he played wonderfully tonight. I thought he was well identical to this line and created some really good opportunities. This was a great goal for us. So I know this represents a great weight from your shoulders.” “I think this will continue to carry the momentum in his game. It will remain more comfortable with our progress here.”
Despite getting a point against sharks, Leafs now lost seven of the last 12 games. They dropped the opening competition for their wild journey in three games and they will face in Los Angeles on Saturday, followed by a visit to Anheim on Sunday.
They will need to clean things to finish the weekend on the right foot.
