Maple Leafs Secure 3-2 Victory Over Rangers With Knies' Third-Period Goal

Toronto's fourth consecutive win propels them to the top of the Atlantic Division, while New York remains outside the playoff picture.

Matthew Knies scored the game-winning goal at 6:21 of the third period following a costly turnover by Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin.
Toronto Maple Leafs extended their winning streak to four games and moved one point ahead of the Florida Panthers for the Atlantic Division lead.
Anthony Stolarz made 33 saves for the Maple Leafs, including a critical glove save shortly before Knies' decisive goal.
The Rangers' Will Cuylle tied the game with a short-handed goal early in the third period, but New York ultimately fell short of a comeback.
The loss leaves the Rangers four points behind Ottawa and Detroit in the race for the Eastern Conference's wild-card playoff spots.
