If you told Toronto Maple Leafs fans their sixth- or seventh-best defenseman would be significantly responsible for two straight overtime goals in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, you would’ve been asked to immediately take a sobriety test.

Instead, it was a 26-year-old, third-pair defenseman from Laval, Quebec, who proved to be the difference-maker by beating goalie Linus Ullmark at 1:19 of overtime to give the Maple Leafs a 3-2 victory against the Ottawa Senators in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round at a raucous Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs hold a 3-0 series lead over the Ottawa Senators after their Game 3 first-round win on Thursday night. For the second straight game, the Leafs found the back of the net in overtime, and this time it came off the stick of defenseman Simon Benoit.
