The Maple Leafs will play on the road for the first time this season after dropping home contests to Montreal and Pittsburgh to begin the campaign. After losing a one-goal decision to the Canadiens on Wednesday, they were bested 5-2 on Saturday by the Penguins. Toronto was outshot 41-25 and trailed 3-0 after the first period before getting goals from Joffrey Lupul and Tyler Bozak, both on the power play. However, the Leafs also allowed the Penguins to score three times on the man advantage, while netminder Jonathan Bernier did his best with 36 saves.
