Good team performs inadequately, beats the bad team anyway.
It was a smash and grab, of sorts, for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who will hop back on the jet they arrived in only hours earlier after taking two points from their matchup with the New Jersey Devils, winning 5-4 in overtime.
Sloppy throughout and evidently out of its routine after travelling on game day, Toronto surrendered two leads in the contest before fighting back to tie in the third. That set the stage for William Nylander to drive to the net and have Damon Severson whack an own goal over the shoulder of Devils goalie Mackenzie Blackwood for the game winner.
