Why the spotlight’s on William Nylander again during Maple Leafs’ losing streak
Forward's loose play has sparked another trade-him-for-a-defenceman campaign around town
In a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog netted a second goal in the third period, securing the win for his team. Devon Toews, Brock Nelson, Artturi Lehkonen, and Martin Necas also scored for Colorado, while Cale Makar contributed two assists. Mackenzie Blackwood made 28 saves during the game.
Toronto, currently on a four-game losing streak, dropped six of their last seven matches, though they managed to come away with a narrow 3-3 tie thanks to a goal from veteran forward Martin Necas. Sergei Bobrovsky, the 38-year-old goaltender and a two-time Stanley Cup champion, conceded three or more goals in 12 of his 13 starts since signing in free agency on July 1.
The Avalanche's next match is against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, while the Maple Leafs will face off against the Minnesota Wild on the same day.
