Maple Leafs Blank Canucks 5-0 on Perfect PK as Woll Records Shutout

A midseason special-teams reset under Derek Lalonde is showing quick payoff, with Vancouver’s slump limiting what this win signals.

Overview

  • Toronto killed all six Vancouver power plays to continue a month-long penalty-kill surge now cited as third in the NHL.
  • William Nylander returned after six games and produced three points, including a first-period goal and an early assist.
  • Joseph Woll stopped all 29 shots for his second shutout of the season.
  • The power play converted twice, with Matias Maccelli opening the scoring and Nick Robertson adding a late goal as Max Domi and John Tavares also tallied.
  • The victory was Toronto’s third straight, with a tougher road test at Colorado up next after a win that came against a struggling Canucks team.
