Overview
- Toronto beat Utah 5-3 on Nov. 5, with Matias Maccelli posting a goal and an assist against his former team, including the game-winner, as Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Matthew Knies also scored.
- Berube praised Maccelli as "competitive all over the ice" and said using healthy scratches can be constructive, noting the winger delivered more after sitting out the previous game.
- John Tavares was honored pregame for reaching 500 career goals, then scored No. 501 as the third-period go-ahead marker and added an assist.
- The Maple Leafs reassigned rookie Easton Cowan to the AHL Marlies, while Scott Laughton made his season debut and Steven Lorentz returned to the lineup.
- Anthony Stolarz stopped 21 shots to extend the run of starts in net as Joseph Woll moves closer to a return, with Toronto set to close the homestand this weekend.
