The Toronto Maple Leafs are on a three-game losing skid, and while there seems to be plenty of blame to go around, many are pointing the finger squarely at goaltending. One of those people is Leafs' goalie Jack Campbell, who was clearly not happy with his effort in a 4-3 overtime loss to Columbus Wednesday night.

"I thought we deserved two points," Campbell said following the game. "They just shot and beat me, and it's not acceptable on my part. We should've won 3-0 or whatever."

While head coach Sheldon Keefe wouldn't blame Campbell for the loss, he did say Adam Boqvist's power-play goal early in the third period is one he wanted a stop from Campbell on. Boqvist made some nifty moves as he started behind his own net and went all the way to the other end for a goal. However, the wrist shot that was used to score from quite a ways out is a good example of one Campbell would like to have back.

Campbell has given up four or more goals in seven of his past 13 outings. Since December 1st of last year, Toronto is 31st in the league for 5-on-5 save percentage..
