Overview
- Oliver Ekman-Larsson opened the third-period push before Auston Matthews tied it on the power play and Dakota Joshua netted the winner eight seconds later.
- Goaltender Joseph Woll returned from injured reserve and stopped 23 shots in the victory.
- Head coach Craig Berube admonished "simple" breakdowns, pointing to a shorthanded goal, a faceoff goal and battles lost around the net.
- Boos rang out at Scotiabank Arena, which Matthews called "rightfully" deserved, and Ekman-Larsson emphasized the need for a consistent 60-minute effort.
- Toronto moved to 15-12-5, snapped a two-game slide, and now heads on a three-game trip to Washington, Nashville and Dallas.
