TORONTO (AP) — William Nylander scored at 4:06 of overtime as the
underperforming and injury-ravaged Toronto Maple Leafs picked up a 3-2
victory over the St. Louis Blues to snap a five-game slide Tuesday
night.
Jake McCabe and Steven Lorentz also scored for Toronto, which had
dropped five straight, including four in regulation. |

Joseph Woll made 27 saves in his second start of the season.
Nathan Walker and Dalibor Dvorsky scored for St. Louis. Jordan
Binnington stopped 26 shots. The Blues fell to 1-2-2 over their
last five.
Tied 1-1 after a first period that saw Nylander bat a puck into
his own net and McCabe level things at the other end, Lorentz
gave the home side the lead before Dvorsky tied it on a power
play to make the score 2-2 through 40 minutes.
The Leafs were playing without seven regulars, including
forwards Auston Matthews, Scott Laughton and Nicolas Roy.
Brandon Carlo has joined fellow defenseman Chris Tanev on the
sidelines, while goaltender Anthony Stolarz also remained out.
Matthew Knies was scratched about an hour before puck drop with
a lower-body injury.
Veteran defenseman Justin Faulk played the 1,000th
regular-season game of his career, joining Jeff Skinner,
teammate Cam Fowler and Tyler Seguin as members of the 2010
draft class to reach the milestone.
