The Toronto Maple Leafs extended their winning streak to three games with a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Despite captain Auston Matthews remaining scoreless, William Nylander scored twice and Mitch Marner netted the game-winner in a display of hockey IQ.
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube watches his team in action against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Toronto on Oct. 12.would have a 2-1 record heading into Thanksgiving might not have registered too highly on the NHL ’s early season surprise-o-meter.
The team has shown it can win on the road and at home, and particularly in last Thursday’s win at New Jersey, can get scoring from up and down the lineup. “It’s still a work in progress for sure,” he said. “Guys really bought into camp, and what we were trying to accomplish and achieve in camp, and it’s carried over to these games so far. But we’ve got to keep improving and keep getting better.”
Berube certainly leaned on the Toronto native, who also picked up an assist in the victory to move past Ron Ellis into seventh place in the franchise’s career points list with 641. Marner had 21:36 of ice time, more than any other forward other than Matthews. “I mean, at this level, everything’s taxing, everything’s tiring,” said the top-line winger, who scored Toronto’s second on Saturday. “It’s just how you manage it, how you take care of yourself off the ice.”
