Toronto, meanwhile, may be overcoming some early-season struggles. They have now won four of their last five games. They improved to 7-5-1 on the 2025-26 campaign. And with this win, the Maple Leafs are three points back of the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings, who are tied on points atop the Atlantic Division.

Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev, in his first game back from a concussion, was stretchered off the ice after a collision. He was released from the hospital.
