Overview
- William Nylander scored at 4:06 of overtime to seal a 3-2 win over St. Louis, snapping Toronto’s five-game skid after earlier deflecting a puck into his own net.
- Jake McCabe and Steven Lorentz scored for the Maple Leafs, while Nathan Walker and Dalibor Dvorsky tallied for the Blues; Jordan Binnington made 26 saves.
- Toronto dressed depth reinforcements, including waiver pickup Troy Stecher and recall Jacob Quillan, with Auston Matthews among seven injured regulars and Matthew Knies a late scratch.
- Both teams entered near the bottom of the league in goals against, and the Blues’ extra-time woes persisted with another OT defeat.
- Across the league, Chicago’s Connor Bedard notched a hat trick in a 5-2 win over Calgary as the Blackhawks extended their surge, and the Rangers’ stark home-road split lingered after a 3-2 road loss in Vegas.
