The Leafs erased a three-goal deficit in the game, with goals from William Nylander, Gavin McKenna (first NHL goal and first assist), John Tavares, and Jack Roslovic. Nashville's Steven Stamkos scored twice, becoming the third active player to score 100 goals in the first period of a game. McKenna made history by scoring his first NHL goal, while Stamkos moved into the NHL’s career goals list at 17th place.",
