"A Jake McCabe changeup from the point and a filthy pass from Sammy Blais to set up Steven Lorentz gave the Leafs two goals in regulation, and despite the Blues tying it up in the second period and taking every possible measure on earth to keep the puck away from the Maple Leafs in overtime, Nylander was having none of it."
"In overtime, John Tavares pinned the puck against the boards and drew all three Blues skaters over to him, which allowed him to kick the puck free to Morgan Rielly, who dished it to Nylander as he entered the zone. By then, the Blues defender had enough time to get across the ice and take on Nylander 1-on-1, to which he answered with a potential goal of the year candidate."
"Joseph Woll picked up his first win of the season and looked good doing it, stopping 27 of 29 shots for the .931 save percentage against his former team. He made a number of crucial saves including a dive across the crease to rob Jordan Kyrou of what could have been the game winning goal. In addition to Woll's stellar play, Troy Stecher had himself a solid debut"
The Maple Leafs secured a morale-boosting win over the St. Louis Blues, overcoming an early own goal by William Nylander. Jake McCabe and Sammy Blais helped create regulation goals for Steven Lorentz, and the Blues later tied the game in the second period. In overtime, John Tavares created space for Morgan Rielly to find Nylander, who finished with a highlight-reel 1-on-1 goal. Joseph Woll recorded his first win, stopping 27 of 29 shots and making several crucial saves. Troy Stecher delivered a solid defensive debut. The Leafs host the Columbus Blue Jackets next.
