Story summary

Kirill Marchenko, traded from Columbus Blue Jackets to Toronto Maple Leafs just over 24 hours prior, made his debut for Toronto against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night. Despite initial pressure and a goal by William Nylander early in the game, the Leafs fell behind after Josh Anderson tied it up and then Alexandre Carrier scored late in the third period to help Montreal win 3-2. Gavin McKenna, Toronto's No. 1 overall pick, also made his NHL debut alongside Marchenko as the team aimed to bounce back from missing the playoffs last season.

🔮 It’s hard to imagine where the Leafs would be without Stecher, who has raised his game with Chris Tanev hurt.
🔮 On the ice, it felt like anything could happen with both teams possessing high-octane offence and questionable defence.
🔮 It would be understandable if a new GM completely cleaned house, but Chayka largely inherited those players, and is rewarding them (and kept assistant GM Ryan Hardy with the organization).
🔮 The Leafs blew the game open with four goals in the second: Matthews and William Nylander scored 46 seconds apart while Easton Cowan scored short-handed. And as if to add salt to the wounds opened with the Marchenko trade, another ex-Blue Jacket — Jack Roslovic, who was born in Columbus — also scored that period and a rough night for Greaves was over. Adding two assists, Cowan had the first three-point night of his career.
🔮 It will be his first game for the Maple Leafs winger against the team that drafted and developed him and ultimately agreed to trade him when he wanted out.
🔮 It was rumoured over the summer the Leafs coveted Stenberg as well but couldn’t pry the second overall pick from San Jose.
🔮 Meanwhile, Russia has been manoeuvring behind the scenes to get into the game’s good books, which may have cost Canada its spot in the September congress in Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands, that landed German Franz Reindl the IIHF top job.
🔮 Then the last few minutes of the period, we’re just trying to get out of that period, I guess you would say.
🔮 Kirill Marchenko’s smile could not have been wider after he got his fifth career hat trick on Thursday night in his 300th career game.
🔮 Try as they might, the Maple Leafs couldn’t outscore their many flaws on display in a 5-4 loss to the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday night.
