COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) \u2014 William Nylander<\/a> became Toronto\u2019s career overtime goals leader with 15, scoring on a wrist shot with 20 seconds remaining in the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a>\u2019 2-1 comeback victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Nylander got the pass from defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson<\/a> and put it past Columbus goaltender Jet Greaves<\/a> to give Toronto only its second win in last nine games.<\/p>\n

Nylander moved past Auston Matthews<\/a> and Mats Sundin<\/a> on the team\u2019s OT list. The Maple Leafs have seven comeback victories this season, fourth-most in the league.<\/p>\n

Nylander also had an assist on Easton Cowan<\/a>\u2019s tying goal in the third period for Toronto, which got its first victory two stops into a six-game trip. Joseph Woll<\/a> stopped 35 shots.<\/p>\n

Ekman-Larsson became the fifth Maple Leafs defenseman since 1991-92 to have a seven-game points streak. <\/p>\n

Zach Werenski<\/a> scored for Columbus, which had its fourth overtime loss in its last 10 games. Greaves had 22 saves.<\/p>\n

Besides getting the win, the Maple Leafs had centers Matthews and Nicolas Roy<\/a> return to the lineup after being activated off injured reserve.<\/p>\n

Werenski took a pass from Miles Wood<\/a> crossing the blue line and then skated to the left corner before beating Toronto goaltender Joseph Woll<\/a> with a wrist shot on the short side at 13:30 of the third.<\/p>\n

It was the Werenski\u2019s eighth goal of the season and fourth in six games.<\/p>\n

It also was Werenski\u2019s 121st in 10 seasons with Columbus, moving him into fifth place in franchise history.<\/p>\n

Werenski appeared to give the Blue Jackets the lead at 13:04 of the second period, but it was taken off the board when Toronto successfully challenged that Columbus was offside.<\/p>\n

Cowan evened it at 16:43 with his second of the year on a snap shot from a difficult angle that went over the shoulder and blocker of Greaves.<\/p>\n
