Maccelli Nets Winner as Maple Leafs Beat Utah for Third Straight Win

Berube’s lineup discipline plus roster shuffling drew a swift payoff from Matias Maccelli against his former team.

Overview

  • Toronto topped the Utah Mammoth 5-3 on Nov. 5, improving to 8-5-1 with a three-game winning streak.
  • Matias Maccelli returned from a healthy scratch to post a goal and an assist, including the game-winner.
  • Auston Matthews put Toronto ahead in the second period off a Maccelli feed, extending his goal streak to three.
  • John Tavares was honored pregame for reaching 500 career goals and later scored in the third period.
  • Craig Berube praised healthy scratches as a useful tool; Anthony Stolarz made 21 saves, Scott Laughton was activated from IR, and rookie Easton Cowan was reassigned to the AHL.
