The Toronto Maple Leafs secured a thrilling 6-5 overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 2, with William Nylander scoring the decisive goal just a minute into overtime. This win marked the Leafs' fifth consecutive victory and helped them take the lead in the tightly contested Atlantic Division.
