He actually did.  Including getting off a very good shot on his breakaway that Pickard had to make an even better save on.

What was the Leafs abuse of an official penalty for in the 2nd period? Having trouble finding anything about it.

Colborne and anther forechecker crumpled Polak into the backboard face first as he went to make a play during the  kill for Rielly's penalty. Polak was down for about a minute and wasn't happy going back to the bench. Babcock also wasn't happy about the non-call on what appeared to be a dangerous boarding. Polak sat the rest of the second to get checked out and we got some effective Gardiner PK time.

It also led to this:

Like I said, earlier I'm guessing it's a result of some words from Polak and/or the Leafs bench about the non-call when he got hit into the boards. Shockingly the Ref didn't react with "A SOB, am I? Gosh, maybe I did miss that call".

Leafs PR update. Polak now awarded with the third goal and Marner his 3rd assist of the night and sole leader in the Leafs points race.
