Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Spezza piled up a season-high three points in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Minnesota, scoring two goals with four shots and notching a power-play assist. Spezza himself also scored once with the man advantage and he sparked a comeback from a 0-3 deficit. Mitchell Marner (undisclosed) missed the match and Spezza ended up logging a season-high 15:51, which is definitely a situation that's worth monitoring. The veteran now has goals in back-to-back games and boasts 11 points in 25 games for the whole campaign.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Spezza had three assists in helping Toronto dominate the Edmonton Oilers 6-1 on Wednesday. Spezza has played well for the Leafs this season with five goals and 10 assists through 23 contests. He plays on the team's fourth line and averages 10:35 of ice time a game. The Maple Leafs swept the three-game series against Edmonton and will head to Vancouver to play the Canucks on Thursday.
Toronto Maple Leafs center Jason Spezza recorded his eighth career hat trick in Thursday's 7-3 win over Vancouver. The former 30-goal scorer hadn't registered three markers in one game since April 2016. Spezza logged only 12:17, but he also had a season-high 5 shots in the game. The veteran center is way past his prime, but he's found some nice form at the moment with seven points in five games. He has a good chance of keeping the momentum in the upcoming days, as the Leafs have two more games against Vancouver on the horizon. The Cancuks are giving up nearly four goals per game.
