"Max Domi's overtime winner sealed the deal for the Maple Leafs. The extra frame was filled with excitement and chances on both ends of the ice. During the early stages of the overtime period, Auston Matthews was robbed of an open net by defenceman Josh Morrissey. The Maple Leafs' late third-period comeback ended the Jets four game win streak. The Leafs got contributions from Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Auston Matthews, and Bobby McMann, who tied the game with under five minutes remaining."
"The penalty kill came up huge for the Leafs as Matthew Knies received a high-sticking call with three minutes remaining in the third. Dennis Hildeby had another strong showing for the Maple Leafs, shutting the door and giving the Maple Leafs a chance to win. Auston Matthews scored another goal, signalling that we are seeing vintage Matthews at his best. With the win, the Maple Leafs will build momentum on what should be seen as a successful road trip."
