"It feels great scoring in the last couple minutes," said Kampf, a forward who played 235 games with the Blackhawks over four seasons before signing with the Maple Leafs as a free agent this offseason. "It was a big goal for us, so it feels good for sure. I don't know that it matters who the opponent was, I'm happy for every goal I score. We had a good lead in the third period, but we lost a couple plays and gave them a couple goals. That was bad, but two big points for us still is huge."
Kampf put in a loose puck after goalie Kevin Lankinen was out of position behind the net when a dump-in by Morgan Rielly bounced off a stanchion and into the slot.
"He scored the last game (against Chicago, on Oct. 27), he scored again today," Blackhawks forward Dominik Kubalik said. "He's Czech, he's my friend. I'm happy for him. I would be happier if he would be scoring against somebody else than us."
Auston Matthews had a goal and an assist to extend his point streak to nine games, William Nylander had a goal and two assists, and Petr Mrazek made 31 saves in his first game since Oct. 30 for the Maple Leafs (19-8-2), who are 2-2-1 in their past five games.
