With the series lead now trimmed to 3-2, the focus postgame was on the underperformance of Toronto’s biggest names, namely team captain Auston Matthews and his star winger, Mitch Marner. Leafs head coach Craig Berube offered a direct critique of his top line, which features Matthews, Marner, and Matthew Knies.

After a rest day on Monday, Auston Matthews stepped onto the ice before the Toronto Maple Leafs' optional morning skate ahead of Game 5 against the Ottawa Senators.

Tuesday was a night to forget for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Ottawa Senators sit just one game behind the Leafs in the Battle of Ontario, after silencing Scotiabank Arena with a 4-0 win over Toronto on Tuesday.
