"William Nylander scored one of the best goals of the 2025-26 NHL calendar, which may serve as a turning point for the Maple Leafs. It's too early to count the Maple Leafs out and Nylander has an uncanny ability to respond to challenges presented during the regular season. After notching an own goal during the first period, it's only fitting that Nylander walked it off with a sensational goal of his own."
""I thought we battled hard," Berube assessed post-game. "The guys were competitive. I thought our checking game was pretty good for the most part throughout the game. Managed the game well. Really liked our first period. Woll was really good. We had a lot of guys in there that are new and haven't played, but I thought they did a good job.""
William Nylander scored a sensational overtime goal to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues, snapping a five-game losing skid. Nylander also accidentally batted a puck into his own net early in the game and apologized to goaltender Joseph Woll, who accepted the apology. Matthew Knies was ruled out an hour before the game due to a lingering injury, and Sammy Blais left the game coughing up blood after the third period. Coach Berube praised the team's competitiveness, checking, first-period play and Woll's performance, noting many players were new or inexperienced.
