The Maple Leafs' 3-2 OT victory over the Senators on Tuesday have given them a 2-0 series lead, and Sportsnet has revealed why that's so significant for the Leafs.

On a night where the Toronto Maple Leafs were outshot 28-21 on the official score sheet, it could have been a whole lot worse.
During Tuesday's Game 2, the Senators had actually directed 60 shots towards the Leafs' net. Thankfully, and somewhat surprisingly, the Leafs were able to successfully block 32 of those attempts.
Those 32 shot blocks helped keep the game close, and while the Leafs did choke away a 2-0 lead in the game, Max Domi was able to find the back of the net just over 3 minutes into overtime to call game.
Domi's OT winner was arguably the biggest goal of his NHL career, was scored in front of his very excited father, Leafs legend Tie Domi, and propelled the Leafs to a 2-0 series lead over the Sens.
This victory was particularly significant. Following the win, Sportsnet Stats revealed that the Leafs are undefeated when securing a 2-0 series lead at home.
"Maple Leafs are 10-0 all-time in best-of-7 series when taking a 2-0 lead at home."
Leafs netminder Anthony Stolarz was sensational in the win, and much to the delight of the fan base, he also took out the trash on his own, delivering a series of hacks and slashes on public enemy number one, Ridly Greig, before landing a heavy shoulder check on the Sens forward, knocking him to the ice and forcing offsetting penalties.
With the series headed to Ottawa for Games 3 and 4 later this week, the Leafs can potentially sweep the series and send the Sens packing on Saturday night.
