Overview
- Joseph Woll made 33 saves for his first shutout of the season in Toronto’s 4-0 win over New Jersey, with goals from Bobby McMann, Nicolas Roy, Calle Jarnkrok and Matthew Knies.
- Toronto won despite absences for Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Chris Tanev with lower-body injuries, as well as Dakota Joshua, and was playing its third game in four nights.
- The Maple Leafs scored on the power play, continuing a short-term uptick credited to Steve Sullivan’s recent promotion, after ending a 0-for-12 drought and going 3-for-5 over two games.
- The Devils’ skid reached four straight losses as Jacob Markstrom stopped 26 shots and New Jersey’s finishing woes persisted following a multi-game scoring drought.
- Hockey Canada finalized its 25-man roster for the 2026 Olympics, adding Macklin Celebrini and Tom Wilson while leaving out Bedard and Scheifele, and Celebrini (1G, 1A) and Wilson (2G, 1A, fight) delivered standout NHL performances hours later.
