Gaudreau back to his high end, puck carrying ability. Monahan is definitely competing extremely hard. Was very pleased how well he played against Auston Mathews last game.

So they actually did a pretty good job against both of the Leafs top centers and took the play to them overall. If they can keep that up against other teams top lines that provides this team with a whole new look this year because generally they were caved in against other teams top lines in the past.
