TORONTO (AP) --- Auston Matthews scored his 11th goal of the season and the
Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Saturday night to end a
two-game losing streak,
William Nylander and Teddy Blueger each had a goal and an assist, and Zack
MacEwen also scored for Toronto (8-6-2). The Maple Leafs had two wins and two
losses on a four-game trip.
Brock Boeser and Max Sasson scored for the Canucks (3-12-1). They have one win
in their last 13 games.
Maple Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz stopped 26 shots and also had an assist on
Blueger's empty-net goal. Leevi Merilainen made 24 saves for the Canucks.
Sasson made things interesting early in the third, drawing the Canucks within a
goal.
Matthews gave the Leafs a 2-1 lead at 3:47 of the second period, beating
Merilainen on the short side after a pretty back-and-forth pass with defenseman
Darren Raddysh.
