Toronto won its third straight when William Nylander scored in overtime to give the Maple Leafs a 5-4 victory over St. Louis on Tuesday. Ilya Samsonov had 30 saves for the Leafs and Matt Murray will be in net tonight with an 8-2-2 record and 2.34 goals-against average and .925 save percentage. Murray stopped 18 of 19 shots in a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay on Dec. 20. Toronto looks to avenge a 4-2 loss to Arizona in the first meeting this season. The Coyotes have won two straight, but they still lead only Chicago in the Central Division. Arizona is 1-5 after scoring at least five goals their previous game, and 3-8 playing with one day of rest. Toronto has won 12 of 15 overall and eight of 11 road games. Also, the Maple Leafs have won eight in a row against Western Conference teams. Take the Maple Leafs as today's Max Play.
