Dominic Moore and Zach Hyman scored and McElhinney made 28 saves for the Maple Leafs (39-20-7, 85 points), who are in second place in the Atlantic Division, four points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning and one point ahead of the Boston Bruins.
The Maple Leafs next play the Washington Capitals outdoors Saturday in the 2018 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
“I thought both goalies were good, every time we play (Luongo), he seems to be good,” Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. “I thought he was getting old, but he’s just good. I thought we had the puck lots and in control. We got down 2-0 and battled our way back on a back-to-back night. In the end, you have to give them credit.
“I look at the two games (a 4-3 shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday), and we probably deserved two points of the four we got and that’s what we got.”
