'It's Not Hard': Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly Doesn't See Issue With Offensive Tendencies With D-Partner Darren Raddysh

Toronto defenseman Darren Raddysh experienced a challenging debut following his arrival for the squad, finishing minus-2 and recording five giveaways while on the ice for every Montreal goal during a 3-2 defeat. Despite concerns over the offensive instincts shared by him and defensive partner Morgan Rielly, Rielly dismissed any notion of difficulty in managing their tendencies to join the attack, emphasizing that their coordination depends entirely on game flow and situational awareness.

Head coach Jim Hiller remains unfazed by the pairing's initial struggles as the team prepares to face the New York Islanders on the second night of a back-to-back, with Bo Groulx also entering the lineup.
