As the Toronto man-advantage failed to put the team ahead on five opportunities, Samsonov’s resurgent effort carried the Leafs in the first half of the game, earning the boisterous cheers of the home fans in Scotiabank Arena. The third period was more balanced, but neither team could break the tie before Auston Matthews’ league-leading 39th goal of the season sent the fans home happy in the extra session.
