Nylander scores twice to lead Leafs past Stars 🍁

CAN’T MISS 🎯

🔥 William Nylander’s 2 goals and assist lead Toronto past Dallas 5-4. The Leafs’ leading point producer blasted a power play one-timer just over six minutes into the 1st period to open scoring before setting up John Tavares’ 2nd period one-timer goal followed by sniping off the rush for his 2nd goal of the night, and eventual game-winner, just 20 seconds after Mitch Marner scored his 22nd of the season midway through the 3rd period. Auston Matthews scored his league-leading 41st goal off a flukey bounce, extending his point streak to eight games (8 goals, 5 assists). Read more →

Jonny Brodzinski one-timed a Chris Kreider feed to the back of the net late in the 1st period for what proved to be the game-winner, Barclay Goodrow had two assists, and Jonathan Quick made 18 saves for a .947 save percentage in the Rangers 3rd straight win to sit atop the Metro Division.
