TORONTO \u2014 Matvei Michkov and Trevor Zegras scored in a shootout and the visiting Philadelphia Flyers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2, extending the hosts’ losing streak to four games on Monday.<\/p>\n
William Nylander scored on the Maple Leafs\u2019 first shootout attempt, but Auston Matthews and Max Domi failed to convert.<\/p>\n
Noah Cates converted a pass from Bobby Brink with 5:18 remaining in regulation time to give the Flyers a 2-1 lead, only to see Nylander slam in a John Tavares’ feed on the power play with 2:30 left before 18,255 at Scotiabank Arena.<\/p>\n
Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube adjusted his lines, with the most notable move the pairing of captain Matthews alongside Nylander.<\/p>\n
Toronto’s Dakota Joshua scored the game’s opening goal at 15:22 of the first period, knocking in a pass from Matias Maccelli. It was Joshua\u2019s first goal since returning last week after missing two months with a lacerated kidney.<\/p>\n
Flyers centre Christian Dvorak scored the equalizer three minutes later on the power play, sweeping home a loose puck in front.<\/p>\n
Toronto outshot the Flyers 31-25, with Anthony Stolarz making 23 saves and Philadelphia\u2019s Dan Vladar countering with 29 stops.<\/p>\n
The Flyers have won three in a row.<\/p>\n
TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n
Leafs: Nicolas Roy between Joshua and Maccelli was the most effective line for the home side.<\/p>\n
Flyers: Leading scorer Travis Konecny missed the game with a lower-body injury. He was a game-time decision.<\/p>\n
KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n
Flyers defenceman Jamie Drysdale had a chance to end the game in overtime, but his shot off the rush hit the outside of the near post with 30 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n
KEY STAT<\/p>\n
Matthews extended his season-high scoring slump to eight games without a goal. The United States Olympian went to Italy without a goal in four games and has gone four more since his return from the gold-medal celebrations.<\/p>\n
