When Auston Matthews is lightning the lamp, there is no worry for the Toronto Maple Leafs when it comes to generating offense. Matthews had his second multi-goal game of the season when the Maple Leafs defeated the New Jersey Devils 4-3 in overtime to snap a season-high three-game losing streak.

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews has 19 goals and ten assists for 29 points in 20 career matchups versus the New Jersey Devils

Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews made his thoughts extremely clear about William Nylander's overtime winner in the Maple Leafs' 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.

TORONTO (AP) — William Nylander scored his second goal of the game at 1:10 of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. Devils coach Sheldon Keefe was back at Scotiabank Arena as a visitor for the first time since being fired by the Maple Leafs in the spring.

William Nylander scored his second goal of the game at 1:10 of overtime as the Toronto Maple Leafs battled back from 2-1 and 3-2 deficits in the third period to down the New Jersey Devils 4-3 on Thursday.

The 27-year-old had two helpers in Toronto's 4-3 overtime win over New Jersey, assisting on the team's third goal and William Nylander's winner in the extra frame. He moves past the 700-point mark and is the fastest player in Maple Leafs history to that feat.

Expect the goal market for Auston Matthews to flourish against this New Jersey Devils team as the Toronto Maple Leafs play host.

Meier has lost a step offensively since coming over from the San Jose Sharks to the Devils. During his last two years in San Jose, Meier was nearly a point-per-game player (0.95), but his numbers have dropped in New Jersey. Key stat: Meier has been limited to three points in his last nine games.

The Toronto Maple Leafs ruthlessly trolled a fan on the jumbotron for being on the phone during the game on Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jakob Chychrun, Aliaksei Protas and Pierre-Luc Dubois scored, Logan Thompson made 18 saves and the NHL-leading Washington Capitals beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Saturday night for their fourth consecutive victory.

The Canadiens will also need to shutdown Auston Matthews and William Nylander, who scored the Leafs’ last seven goals.
