Just like a few former Florida Panthers now playing on the Toronto Maple Leafs in their second round battle, Toronto is filled with a few former Chicago Blackhawks players who are contributing as much as anyone could expect.
Max Domi and Jake McCabe have all played nine postseason games for the Maple Leafs so far and the team is up 2-1 in the series.
Domi is in the bottom-6 lines, but it's tough to actually call his line or the other the fourth line as they play about the same. Domi has two goals and four points so far centering Bobby McMann and Pontus Holmberg. Domi logs over a minute of time on the power play per game.
McCabe is playing top minutes on the first pairing alongside Morgan Rielly. McCabe leads all defensemen on the Maple Leafs with 22:33 of ice time and leads his team with 2:17 of penalty killing time per game as well in the playoffs. He has contributed four assists on top of that.
Neither Domi nor McCabe were in Chicago for very long and didn't get to experience playoff hockey for the Blackhawks, which is electric when it happens. Toronto's crowd is better in the playoff this season and both are definitely part of the reason why the Maple Leafs can now get out of the first round.
