Why Maple Leafs feel more authentic during this winning streak

The Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Oilers 7-2 on Saturday at Rogers Arena. William Nylander scored twice during the game, including his 300th career goal, according to Global News. Other goals for Toronto were recorded by Jack Roslovic, Auston Matthews, Troy Stecher, Zack MacEwen, and Vinni Lettieri. The Toronto Sun noted that Nylander's two goals came during a four-goal third period.

In the Edmonton net, Tristan Jarry made 25 saves, while Toronto's Anthony Stolarz made 30 saves to earn the win. Leon Draisaitl scored twice for the Oilers, marking his third consecutive two-goal game and extending his goal-scoring streak to six games. Connor McDavid recorded two assists, extending his season-starting points streak to 11 games.

With his goal, Auston Matthews extended his season-opening road point streak to five games. Global News reported that Matthews now requires one point to reach 800 career points, a milestone that would make him the fastest player in franchise history to achieve it and the NHL's third quickest American skater to reach the mark. The Maple Leafs have now won four consecutive games.
