Las Vegas - Toronto was thinking that Steven Matz was gonna be the answer to the thin starting rotation, and for the first four games, it sure looked that way. Matz won his first four decisions and put up some pretty snazzy numbers. But the last two starts, well, you know the word, UGLIFIED.

They have lost only twice since Tuchel was appointed on January 26, and have conceded just one goal in the last five games. ONE GOAL IN FIVE GAMES! C'MON! And in 11 Champions League matches, they have never allowed more than one goal in a game.
