Akhtyamov’s 36-Save Night Keeps Toronto Alive

Toronto got the kind of goaltending performance that can change the mood of an entire series. A 36-save effort from Akhtyamov gives the Maple Leafs a chance to extend the fight and forces the North Division Finals back into the kind of pressure cooker players love to talk about afterward. If the Leafs are going to keep this thing alive, they will need that same backbone again when the next puck drops.
