The Maple Leafs ended a four-game losing streak Thursday with a 4-3 road victory over the Calgary Flames, with Auston Matthews scoring three goals.
The Maple Leafs surrendered leads in all four games of their losing streak. They were able to hold the lead against Calgary with help from a video review.
The Flames put the puck in the net in the third period for what would have been the tying goal. Toronto challenged the play, officials ruled that there had been a Calgary hand pass that disallowed the play and the Maple Leafs retained their 4-3 lead.
The Flames took a 2-0 lead in the first period before Matthews took over with his fourth hat trick of the season and the 11th of his career. He added an assist as Toronto built a 4-2 lead. His 37 goals lead the league.
Goaltender Martin Jones made 23 saves.
The Maple Leafs have had problems closing out games at times this season, not just on that four-game slide.
The Vancouver Canucks opened a five-game homestand with a victory that they hope provides momentum for their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night.
The Canucks returned from a 5-1-1 road trip Thursday to defeat the Arizona Coyotes 2-1 and become the first team in the league to reach 30 wins this season.
The Canucks' homestand precedes a nine-day break for the team around NHL All-Star Weekend. Canucks coach Rick Tocchet feels the homestand can set up his team for the stretch drive.
The Canucks got the winning goal against Arizona late in the second period from Dakota Joshua.
