Play of Anthony Stolarz key factor for Maple Leafs in Game 1 victory

Stolarz didn’t let a Senators goal in the first period that a weird element to it bother him. After making a save, Stolarz was unable to corral the puck and Ottawa forward Drake Batherson swatted it into the net before Stolarz could cover it. The goal put a dent in the Leafs’ 2-0 lead.
“It’s just one of those things kind of hops over your stick, right?” Stolarz said. “That’s part of being a goalie. It’s short-term memory. You have to worry about that next shot. The guys really did a good job for me, keeping them to the outside.
“When my number was called to make a big save, I just tried my best to do that. Our commitment to playing a 200-foot game, blocking shots, having good sticks in lanes, I think was key to our success.”
In the third, Stolarz, luckily for the Leafs, was not hurt when Ottawa’s Ridly Greig slid into him. The right leg of Stolarz slammed into the post.
