- Nick Robertson scored and was singled out as the Leafs’ best skater on the day as he continues his push for a full-time role.
- Calle Jarnkrok opened the scoring on the first shot and showed encouraging form after last season’s injury-marred campaign.
- Easton Cowan and Ben Danford were held off the scoresheet yet drew positive reviews for their details, with Craig Berube praising Danford’s steady, mistake-free play.
- Goaltender Artur Akhtyamov delivered a strong 30-minute stint with key saves as the Senators carried the shot edge, and these showings will inform Toronto’s next camp cuts and preseason usage.
