There's at least one person out there who's happy not to be a superstar rookie in today's NHL - Leo Komarov.
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward spoke after the crazy second meeting between the top two picks in the 2016 draft. Patrik Laine posted two goals and Auston Matthews contributed three assists in the contest, but Komarov noted he's happy he doesn't get the same spotlight.
Leo Komarov says he can't imagine what it would be like to be Matthews/Laine in this game: "I'm happy I'm not. I'm just enjoying being Leo."

To be fair, being Leo doesn't sound too bad either, considering the 30-year-old scored two goals of his own on Tuesday, pushing his modest point streak to five games.
