Lightning score early, often on the way to embarrassing Maple Leafs 7-3 in Game 1 TORONTO - John Tavares didn’t have an answer. Sheldon Keefe didn’t sense any nerves.
Maple Leafs report cards: Is there a grade lower than an F? With the stakes never higher, the Maple Leafs playoff opener against the Lightning was a disaster.

Ryan O'Reilly - Finds back of net Tuesday O'Reilly scored a goal in Tuesday's 7-3 defeat to the Lightning.
Impact In six games back from a long-term injury absence, O'Reilly has found his offensive stride with two goals and five assists, including four power-play points. With the Ontario native cemented in a first-line power-play role, he should continue to produce and will look to extend his point streak to four games in Thursday's Game 2 matchup with Tampa Bay.

Ilya Samsonov - Defending cage against Bolts Samsonov will patrol the blue paint at home versus the Lightning in Game 2 on Thursday, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Samsonov got the hook in Game 1 on Tuesday after giving up six goals on 29 shots (.793 save percentage). Despite the poor performance, Samonov will get the starting nod for Game 2 as well, though perhaps if Matt Murray (concussion) was healthy the situation may be different.

Jake McCabe - Big hitter in Game 1 loss McCabe delivered seven hits Tuesday in a 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 1.
Impact One of those hits knocked Bolts' forward Michael Eyissimont out of the game. McCabe played 19:54 on Tuesday, his first playoff game. He has 124 points (25 goals, 99 assists) in 504 regular-season games.

Mac Hollowell - Back on ice Hollowell (kneecap) skated Wednesday prior to the Marlies practise.
Impact Hollowell has been out since mid-January after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured kneecap. There is no timetable for his return to play, but coach Greg Moore said the defender "is on the ice working towards his return to play." Depending on the severity of the injury, Hollowell may be back to full activity three-to-six months post-surgery.

Michael Bunting - Given three-game suspension Bunting was handed a three-game suspension by the NHL for an illegal check to the head and interference against Tampa Bay's Erik Cernak during Game 1 on Tuesday.
Impact The incident occurred late in the second period, and Bunting was given a match penalty as a result of the play. The Leafs forward will be eligible to return for Game 5 on April 27, provided that contest is necessary. While Bunting is out, Wayne Simmonds or Matthew Knies might draw into the lineup.
