HOW IT WENT DOWN
William Nylander wasted little time getting the Maple Leafs on the board as Toronto took a 1-0 lead at 1:24 of the first. With seven minutes to play in the frame, Keegan Kolesar leveled the score at 1-1 with a power-play goal to send the teams into the intermission tied. The Maple Leafs went back in front on an Auston Matthews goal early in the second and the lead grew to 3-1 when Ilya Mikheyev scored at 16:46 of the frame. In the third, William Karlsson brought the Golden Knights back to within one less than two minutes into the period. Midway through the period, Alex Pietrangelo tied the game with a power-play goal and the teams rode the tie into overtime. After a scoreless overtime, William Nylander scored the only goal of the shootout to give Toronto the 4-3 win.
STAT OF THE KNIGHT
Tuesday's game marked the 23rd consecutive game in which the Golden Knights weren't outshot by their opponent as Vegas had 34 shots to Toronto's 18. Only two teams have had longer such streaks since the NHL started tracking shots on goal in 1959-60.
