Thursday night’s Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 comeback victory over the Calgary Flames was almost a complete reversal of their previous four games when they had jumped out to an early lead but couldn’t hold on.

After the really solid game against the Nashville Predators on Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs allowed old habits to slip back into their game.
