Maple Leafs’ Rielly Ignites Unexpected Offensive Surge—Could This Be His Breakout Season?
“(It) was great to see him have a good game. (There was) a lot of good, and there’s stuff that we’ve got to work on, but we did a good enough job to win the game. I thought our third period was our best period, (we did a) good job protecting the lead, closing it out,” the Leafs’ bench boss added.
His six points put him tied for third in the league among defensemen, behind Cale Makar and Shayne Gostisbehere.
Rielly’s scoring includes goals against the Habs and on Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken. The biggest change for Rielly is his return to being the quarterback of Toronto’s power play after Marner took the point of the team’s five-forward power-play unit last season.
