Matthews, Nylander Lead Leafs to 4-2 Win over Struggling Canucks
On Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 at Rogers Arena, snapping a two-game losing streak. Captain Auston Matthews collected his team-leading 11th goal of the season.
The Maple Leafs concluded a four-game road trip with a 2-2 record, while the Canucks continue to struggle with only one win in their past 13 games.
William Nylander and Teddy Blueger each had a goal and an assist, while Zack MacEwen also scored for Toronto. Goaltender Anthony Stolarz recorded 26 saves to secure the win.
Matthews and Nylander became the first teammates to reach 10 goals before November 1. Nylander's milestone goal came on a first-period breakaway at 1:23.
The Maple Leafs return home to host the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday, while the Canucks prepare to host the Anaheim Ducks on the same night.
