Oliver Ekman-Larsson Scores Distant Shorthanded Goal On Hapless Leafs

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was only trying to dump the puck, but the unintended accuracy gave him his 13th goal of the season as the "shot" got past Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier. Toronto is at the point where it can't even lose a lead on an even-strength goal.

Let's use this goal—and 3-1 loss—as a peg: The Maple Leafs have lost eight straight games (one in a shootout). They've won one game in January. Peter Horacek falling on his butt was the highlight of the month.
