William Nylander leads Leafs past Lightning

Good morning. Can anyone help us file a complaint with the NHL’s scheduling department — only one game on the docket last night but 16 tonight?!

NHL GAME RECAP 🚨

William Nylander scores twice, including game-winner, adds assist, Leafs overwhelm Lightning 5-2. Auston Matthews scored in his 3rd straight, Max Pacioretty scored his 2nd as a Leaf, and Matthew Knies buried his 2nd of the season on a breakaway. Mitch Marner collected two apples and Anthony Stolarz made 32 saves for a .941 save percentage as Leafs improve to 4-2-0, good for 2nd place in the Atlantic Division standings. Nick Paul and Brayden Point scored for the Lightning while Victor Hedman earned two helpers as Tampa loses their 2nd straight.
