The Toronto Maple Leafs were in a hard-fought matinee matchup today, as they were on the road visiting the Minnesota Wild.
The Leafs came away with a 4-3 win; however, Wild head coach Dean Evason made a significant ''cheating'' accusation toward opposing goaltender

Here is Evason's full quote per Russo:
