Down 3-1 in the second, the Leafs kick-started their comeback when Marner intercepted a McLeod pass in front of Edmonton’s net before beating Skinner with his 24th goal of the campaign
John Tavares scored twice as part of a four-goal barrage in the second period as the Toronto Maple Leafs roared back from a 3-1 deficit to down the Edmonton Oilers 7-4 on Saturday.
Tavares made it 4-3 to complete a three-goal outburst in exactly three minutes after he and Matthews forced another turnover out of Darnell Nurse. Toronto got a power play that saw Matthews score his 30th before Draisaitl replied with his 42nd on another man advantage. Acciari then iced it into the empty net late.
Edmonton’s captain exited the penalty box and took a pass in the neutral zone before cutting into the middle and firing through Murray’s pads to add to his career-high goal and point totals. Kane then made it 2-1 in his second game back from a rib injury with his 10th on a wraparound after Murray overcommitted on a rush chance.Jack Campbell made his return to Toronto after bolting for Edmonton in free agency last summer, but spent his evening on the bench.
“The city really embraced me during my time here,” the 31-year-old said before the game. “And there were other great memories – things I’ll cherish my whole life.”Saturday marked the first home game as members of the Leafs for forward Sam Lafferty and defencemen Jake McCabe and Erik Gustafsson after the trio was added ahead of the trade deadline.
