Morning Coffee: Matthews, Marner Power Leafs To Lopsided Game 1 Win

“Nervous energy” was the phrase of choice among fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs heading into Game 1 of their first-round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

After Jake Muzzin broke the ice with the first goal of the playoffs, there wasn’t much reason for any nervous energy at all the rest of the way.

Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner combined for six points, Jack Campbell stopped all 23 shots that he faced, and the Maple Leafs cruised to a 5-0 win over Tampa Bay in the series opener. 

FanDuel Sportsbook had Toronto at -115 to advance to the second round entering last night’s game. 

Looking at their updated prices this morning, the Maple Leafs are -205 to win the series.

The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning are suddenly +164 just to advance to the second round.
