The Leafs stormed out to a 5-0 lead that chased Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner to start the third period and it wasn't until midway through that period the Oilers finally got on the board. The game ended closer than expected, but thanks to a pair of goals from Pontus Holmberg and the aforementioned McMann, the Leafs escaped with the win.
Following the game, McMann was asked about the third period push from the Oilers that followed a very strong two periods from the Leafs. He capped off his three-point night with a mic drop comment.
McMann, who almost scored his third of the game on a shorthanded rush, but rang one off the iron, now has 4 points in his last two games. He has been thriving with the increased ice time on the second line and will look to continue his streak as the Leafs take on the Carolina Hurricanes tonight.
