William Nylander played the 600th regular-season game of his career for the Leafs, who suffered an ugly 6-3 loss to the Devils on home ice late last month before picking up a 5-2 road victory Tuesday.

Toronto winger Nick Robertson had a goal overturned on a coach's challenge for offside a few minutes later.
