Overview
- San Jose erased a 2-0 deficit in Toronto and won 3-2 on Alexander Wennberg’s overtime goal at 2:49.
- Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who exited in the third after tangling with Adam Gaudette, said at Saturday’s skate he feels ready to go, and Craig Berube called it good news.
- TSN’s Darren Dreger had reported optimism that Ekman-Larsson could test the injury quickly, while a medical expert suggested the mechanism resembled a medial ankle sprain dependent on severity.
- Toronto’s blue line remains stretched with Chris Tanev still awaiting a decision on next steps and Brandon Carlo having recently undergone surgery.
- Dennis Hildeby made 29 saves, William Nylander had two assists and praise from Berube, and Auston Matthews snapped a power-play drought with his 13th goal of the season.
