knee-on-knee hit
TORONTO (AP) --- William Nylander broke a tie on a power play 36 seconds into
the third period and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-4 on
Thursday night to end an eight-game losing streak.
The victory was tempered by the loss of captain Auston Matthews on a
knee-on-knee hit from Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas with four minutes left in
the second period. Matthews stayed down favoring his left leg before being
helped to the locker room. Gudas was assessed a major penalty and game
misconduct.
Matthews scored earlier to end a 12-game goal drought.
Matias Maccell had a goal and two assists, and John Tavares and Benoit-Olivier
Groulx also scored. Matthew Knies had three assists to go along with an
empty-net goal, and Nylander added two assists. Joseph Woll made 36 saves.
Cutter Gauthier, Ian Moore, Pavel Mintyukov and Alex Killorn scored for Pacific
Division-leading Anaheim. Lukas Dostal stopped 23 shots.
The Maple Leafs are 1-6-2 since the Olympic break to sink any realistic hope of
a 10th straight playoff appearance. They won at home for the first time since
Jan. 10.
