Nylander Returns as Maple Leafs Rally Past Penguins 4-3

Toronto eyes consistency following a rare three-goal, third-period comeback last achieved by the club in 2010.

Overview

  • William Nylander delivered two goals and an assist in the third period after missing three of the previous four games with a lower-body injury.
  • The Maple Leafs erased a 3-0 deficit with three goals in 3:24, and Bobby McMann scored the winner with 6:17 to play.
  • Goaltender Anthony Stolarz stopped 34 shots, steadying Toronto through two sluggish periods before the surge.
  • Pittsburgh got two goals from 18-year-old Ben Kindel and another from Erik Karlsson, while Tristan Jarry made 16 saves.
  • Toronto improved to 7-5-1 with a fourth win in five games as coach Craig Berube praised the late response but criticized the team's opening 40 minutes.
