Maple Leafs' Streak Ends with Losses to Knights, Sharks

The Toronto Maple Leafs faced a challenging week, ending their five-game winning streak with a 5-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and a 3-2 shootout defeat to the San Jose Sharks. In the matchup against the Golden Knights, Toronto struggled defensively, with Joseph Woll allowing three goals before being replaced by Anthony Stolarz. Despite recent setbacks, the Maple Leafs have shown strong performances, including a 6-5 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins, where William Nylander scored the game-winner. Toronto's recent losses have left them tied with the Florida Panthers for first place in the Atlantic Division, with the Tampa Bay Lightning closely trailing. The Maple Leafs continue their road trip with a game against the Colorado Avalanche, looking to regain momentum post-NHL trade deadline.
