Easton Cowan recorded two points and Anthony Stolarz stopped 26 shots, team records confirm, helping Toronto secure a necessary victory following their season-opening loss.
- On Tuesday, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in their 2026-27 season opener at Scotiabank Arena, with goalie Jakub Dobes making 25 saves and William Nylander scoring twice for Toronto.
- Toronto debuted multiple new roster additions, including first-overall pick Gavin McKenna and forward Kirill Marchenko, who was acquired Monday and signed a six-year, $75 million extension before making his Maple Leafs debut.
- Recovering quickly, the Maple Leafs defeated the New York Islanders 2-1 on Wednesday night, giving head coach Jim Hiller his first win behind Easton Cowan's goal and assist plus 26 saves from Anthony Stolarz.
