Leafs Rally to Beat Penguins 4-3

The Toronto Maple Leafs erased a 3-0 deficit with four third-period goals over 3:24 to stun the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3, marking their first three-goal, third-period comeback since Dec. 6, 2010. William Nylander (two goals, three points) and Auston Matthews (goal, assist) fueled the rally while Bobby McMann scored the go-ahead goal and Anthony Stolarz made 34 saves. Pittsburgh fell to 8-4-2 as rookie Ben Kindel scored twice and Erik Karlsson added a goal; Tristan Jarry made 16 saves in his 300th career game. Penguins forward Noel Acciari exited with an upper-body injury, and Toronto’s Chris Tanev was reported back in Toronto and in good condition after being stretchered off in a prior game. The victory improved Toronto to 7-5-1, but the club’s recurring early-period lapses remain a concern.
