Third Star: Matt Beleskey, LW (1 A, 1 SOG, 2 Hits, 14:08 TOI)
Beleskey tallied an assist on Kesler’s goal in the third period and seemed to be all over the ice tonight, making plays wherever he could for the Ducks. Unfortunately, even with his strong effort on the ice tonight, the team around him was pretty slow, and he was unable to capitalize on the opportunities he had and created throughout the game. Beleskey’s line was one of the better lines on the ice for the Ducks tonight, but even with that being said, the Maple Leafs outplayed the Ducks for the majority of the final 40 minutes, and it showed on the scoreboard.
