TORONTO — Auston Matthews scored his 47th goal of the season and Frederik Andersen made 32 saves as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Tuesday night.
William Nylander also scored for Toronto (36-25-9), which was back home following a miserable California road trip that saw the club secure a solitary point and combine to register just three goals against the Western Conference's three worst teams — the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks.
Mitch Marner and John Tavares put up two assists each for the Leafs, who had star defenceman Morgan Rielly back in the lineup for the first time since breaking his foot on Jan.
