Ryan O’Reilly Nets Hat Trick On 1st 3 Goals After Trade to Maple Leafs; NHL Playoff Race Update

We had planned to feature the NHL playoff race in today’s edition, then Ryan O’Reilly made a splash for the Maple Leafs. O’Reilly joined Toronto in a trade with the Blues late last week, and he tallied a hat trick in his third start with his new team last night. The Leafs beat the Sabres (6-3) on what quickly became the O’Reilly welcome show. Toronto’s new wingman scored his two goals in the first four minutes and changed before completing the hat trick late in the third. O’Reilly also made an assist while Mitch Marner tallied five assists, and the Leafs are back in the win column as they continue chasing the Bruins in the Atlantic. Here’s a lengthy list of last night’s highlights and a look at where they stand coming down the stretch.
