William Nylander scored with three seconds left in overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 1-0 win against the New Jersey Devils at Air Canada Centre on Thursday.
“I just knew when we got out there, there was a minute left and we’d been out there for a little bit,” Nylander said. “I didn’t know how much time was left when I scored but I was pretty tired, it went back and forth there a few times. I was low energy. Luckily [the puck] couldn’t go back the other way after that.”
Frederik Andersen made 42 saves, including eight in overtime, in his second shutout of the season for the Maple Leafs (13-7-0), who have won five straight games. The past four wins have come without center Auston Matthews, who is out with an upper-body injury.
