00:00Just off the stick of Domi and back the other way comes Ross Colson. Colson in with
00:10Yoel Kiviranta. There's Bools for a stop on the short side. Along the boards Nelson back to the line and it's kicked away there by Wall. What a
00:19hot shot by Malinski. Back to Sam Malinski. Puts it on goal again and Jonathan
00:25Drewan on the ice playing in game number 600. Gets it back to Eric Johnson. Swat off the stick of Nachushka. Gerrard back to Nachushka right on with a rebound on to the stick of Holmberg. Up ahead at center that's turned over and Nelson's back in and fires that high and Wall gonna hold on to that. Curls inside the line and drops from a car. Lost the handle but it slides to Natchez. Here's Marty Natchez firing it right on and Wall stops
00:55that. Leads one goal, two against. One and one for the Avalanche. Here's Natchushka working in and that slides on goal. Tavares looking to clear it from the front of the net. It'll come back to Nelson and across Natchushka. Checked by Tavares. Gerrard with a shot that's gloved and tossed down by Wall.
01:15Still fighting off Leon Dreisaiter to try to win the Art Ross for leading score in the lead. Got a two point lead at the moment. McCabe with a good move. Tried to get some and a backhand and Blackwood with a stop. Often your reputation, Taves just sort of goes at him with a stick and a quick power move goes inside and then pulls it right around McCar. Strong play by Carlo working against his old Boston teammate Charlie Coyle. Lead D. It's Leland Rims. Stopped by Blackwood.
01:45And he'll cover up. D. Lander almost from a standstill. Gets it quickly. Keeps his legs moving. Tries to go fireball. Gets it and bodies. It doesn't bode well. That hasn't been the case in Colorado. Tavares sifting that shot through and Wall's got another in his 10th save of the period. Natchushka in front.
02:06Centering pass here. Put back to Taves and he missed the target from a dangerous spot. Here's a shot from the point and no look pass by Nelson. This is a point blank shot that just after it in the corner. Now it's Natchushka on it. Feeding back to McCar and across Taves. Blocking in backhand. Loose in front and nine of the last 21 looking for the icebreaker and a shot. The rebound is stopped by Blackwood.
02:37And Colorado with a clear.
02:41Here comes D. Lander into the zone. A minute 10 remaining with Matthews getting a shot. Chopping away at the rebound and getting a second rebound opportunity here. Here's Matthews firing. Love stop. Coolly made by Blackwood.
02:56I think that play by D. Lander even surprised Matthews a little bit. He was looking at a setup and just a good last second read as D. Lander sifts his way through. Does a great job of protecting the puck and then just slides it. And all of a sudden Matthews in a grade A position gets a good shot away and a quick return that Blackwood had to make two good saves.
03:17Matthews in front scores. On the tip. And the Leafs break the ice with another power play goal.
03:29Criticism at times with this power play when it's not going. Is that okay? You're reluctant to shoot. How's this? Just a quick shot for Matthews. He's got two things. He's trying to get it across crease to go to Matthews.
03:41But you also know there's always the danger of that going off the defenders. And that time it's.
03:46And felt like he'd gone away from the Leafs in the second period in Denver as Nick Pepper Blackwood with a couple more shots. McKinnon's in his spot.
03:59Back upstairs for McCar. McKinnon shooting and it's a piece of that.
04:06Back to the line for McCar and a stunning play by Marner to work it out.
04:13Marner out there along with Lawton as McKinnon dashes back in. Nachushkin back to McCar and now back to McKinnon.
04:20Now Nachushkin has equalized with his fourth against Toronto this season.
04:30The individual play here by Nathan McKinnon.
04:34Just right in between three Maple Leafs gets the easy entry, the bump back and now a couple of passes later.
04:40Just the threat you saw Sean at the beginning showing this is where the game winning goal last game came off the stick of McKinnon.
04:4718 on the year for Nachushkin in 31 games.
04:52Away goes Parker Kelly up against Bedwell.
04:56Shot steered away and a hit for Matthews.
04:59On to the right side, took his own pass.
05:03In front, Niles! Stopped by Blackwood.
05:06As Matthew Niles looks for goal 25 on the year.
05:10Against talented players there's a little stop up.
05:13Marner does a great job of coming back taking the puck away.
05:16Now Matthews wins this battle on Taze.
05:19Gets inside position and right on the doorstep.
05:22That's a good save there by McKinnon.
05:24104 points for McKinnon on the season.
05:281,003 in his career as Matthews may have a break.
05:32Matthews in! Off the bar!
05:35But it happened so quickly.
05:37Does a great job of driving hard to the net.
05:39Protecting it with his feet and then that quick hands.
05:42Gets it passed up over the goaltender off the crossbar.
05:46Got Coyle with Natchez.
05:50And looking in at the moment.
05:53Derrick Johnson, that's steered away by Wolfe.
05:56Back to Johnson again in front and it's cleared there.
06:00Yard crook without a stick.
06:02Kicked the puck away.
06:05Johnson moving it quickly back in.
06:08Shot turned into the corner by Wolfe.
06:11James up the board and it jumps on that.
06:14Back to Domi.
06:16Works at high slot.
06:18He's holding and fires off the post!
06:21Leafs have a crossbar and a post.
06:24He does a great job of looking off the pass.
06:26He's got a great screen.
06:27He's seen in Colorado an upper body injury.
06:30Sounds like he might be out a little while for the Avalanche.
06:34I think Molenski's played extremely well in looking more confident.
06:38He just said wall!
06:40Able to close that down.
06:42Still working the boards.
06:44Tying Johnson up.
06:46Marner. Matthews.
06:48Here's Tannum in front!
06:50Back with the stop!
06:52It'll come back to McCain.
06:54And Marner!
06:55Here's Tannum. Works in.
06:57Leaves for Matthews.
06:59Shooting off the glove of Blackwood.
07:02Back to Teague.
07:04And McCard.
07:07Shot knocked out in front!
07:09Jumping at it! Loose! Wall!
07:11Loose for Eagle!
07:13And it stays out and the Leafs clear.
07:15Coyle goes again with McKinnon's old line mates that he started with.
07:20And McKinnon looks like he's going to stay with the Nelsonites.
07:24From a point right on.
07:27Up to 13 shots in the first period.
07:30For the Avalanche, 7 from their point.
07:32And here's Nietzsche's in!
07:34And Wall!
07:36Knocked down under that attack by Nietzsche's.
07:40After Chivarata.
07:42Back to Molenski.
07:44And that deflects his block.
07:47Up top it goes for Lindgren!
07:49Shooting! Their contact error.
07:51Tavares takes his man down in front.
07:53In Montreal Saturday.
07:55How about that atmosphere in Montreal last night?
07:58Here comes the Avalanche.
08:00And that shot just goes wide.
08:02Off the stick of McKinnon.
08:04Across it comes Lindgren.
08:06Shooting! And that went wide.
08:08Looks like there was some room far side.
08:11Dropping his stick was Marner.
08:13Picking up the puck, Nelson.
08:15Lindgren in front!
08:17Stopped by Wall!
08:19Here's McKinnon on the doorstep.
08:21It's underneath and a little push off in front.
08:23Excellent save.
08:26Battling for an important kill here.
08:29Early in the third period.
08:31Into the second minute.
08:33And Benoit will get a clear.
08:35Kelly Sutherland diving to get out of the way.
08:38And he sets up Lorenz!
08:40Score!
08:42Stable Lorenz!
08:44Oh man.
08:50Out of pressure.
08:51Benoit just clearing this down.
08:53Look at just the ball.
08:55Now there's nothing.
08:57The official of Kelly can't do anything about it.
08:59But a heads up play by Lorenz.
09:01And this is one I'm sure Blackwood would like to have.
09:03Credit Lorenz.
09:05Sutherland tried to get out of the way.
09:07Thought it was maybe going up into his head.
09:09And then lost his balance.
09:11Unable to control that.
09:13But knocks it down.
09:15Here's Brock Nelson.
09:17There! That's locked up!
09:19By Wall!
09:21Everyone went to the options.
09:23The opening.
09:25Right down the slot.
09:27Matthew's best game in a while against Calgary.
09:29I just think he's had another heck of a good night tonight.
09:31Neches!
09:33And so has Wall.
09:35Strong night.
09:37Here's the drop to Neches.
09:39Through a screen.
09:41So a difficult read at the lap.
09:43Rebound to Nylander.
09:45Back to Benoit to reload.
09:47Off the inboard for McMahon.
09:49Side of the cage.
09:51Here's Nylander.
09:53Time winding down.
09:55And the Leafs are back into a share of first place in the Atlantic.
09:59As Joseph Wall makes 38 saves in a 2-1 Toronto victory.
