#NYR overcome Matthews' 2 goals, defeat #LeafsForever “They’ve got great goaltending and just a deep team, so with the way the game went last week against them, you knew they were going to be coming out here to play.” My @NHLdotcom story: #NHL https://t.co/eRdS7WHTPf
The #NYR dropped one last week at home against these Maple Leafs, then came to Toronto and stole one right back. Clutch goals from Lafrenière and Schneider kept the good vibes going. Takeaways here, with more to come 👇🏼 https://t.co/zbkSE9EHi8
