Eichel Completes Golden Knights’ 6-5 OT Rally Over Maple Leafs

The win stretched Vegas’ streak to six during Mitch Marner’s first meeting with Toronto since his sign-and-trade.

Overview

  • Tomas Hertl tied the game with seven seconds left in regulation before Jack Eichel netted the winner at 2:44 of overtime.
  • Pavel Dorofeyev scored two power-play goals, and a late apparent tally was overturned on Toronto’s successful offside challenge.
  • Adin Hill was activated and made his first start since Oct. 20, finishing with 23 saves after allowing three in the opening period.
  • Mitch Marner recorded two assists against his former team, and Mark Stone added a goal and two assists to extend his point streak to 10 games.
  • Toronto squandered multiple two-goal leads and lost William Nylander early with a lower-body issue, with postgame scrutiny on late defensive lapses including Auston Matthews’ overtime backcheck.
