Original: The Matthews-McKenna experiment and Bobrovsky's struggles: Maple Leafs observations https://www. nytimes.com/athletic/77

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Seattle Kraken in what analysts described as a low-event hockey game, but one that offered plenty to examine. The game featured the experiment of pairing Auston Matthews with rookie Brandon McKenna, while goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's ongoing struggles continued to draw criticism from observers.

Why now: The Leafs' loss, the unusual line combination, and Bobrovsky's poor form are fresh talking points after the October 29 game.
