From kristen_shilton: Andersen returns to form in Leafs' win over Oilers. MORE:
in the victory that ended a three-game road trip through Western Canada with five of a possible six points for Toronto. The team now moves to 42-21-5 on the season, still four points back of the Boston Bruins for second place in the Atlantic Division.
The Leafs maintained that score while the second period unfurled uneventfully, right up until Tavares got Stolarz to bite on a fake shot and then put the puck over the goaltender to extend the Leafs’ lead to 2-0. Toronto then survived a push by the Oilers early in the third period long enough to turn the tide back in their favor. Tavares got loose near the Edmonton blue line and snuck a puck to Nylander, who hopped into the rush withThe Leafs faced a tough challenge when both Rielly and Muzzin were sent to the box midway through the third, giving Edmonton a 5-on-3 power play for 37 seconds, but Toronto killed it off and were still ahead by three until less than two minutes remained in regulation.
With two days off in between to reset, Andersen was back on form against the Oilers, with a tight, efficient showing to backstop Toronto to his 33rd win of the season, tied for most by a goalie in the NHL.
