  "account": "In a thrilling matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Colorado Avalanche, William Nylander tied a career high with five points as the Maple Leafs emerged victorious 6-3. Nylander scored two goals and also delivered a career-high three assists, tying his career-high point total. The game was a back-and-forth affair, with the Avalanche securing a 1-0 lead just three minutes into the opening period. However, the Maple Leafs quickly responded, and after several tense minutes, Nylander tied the score 19 seconds after a penalty was called on Jaden Schwartz for high-sticking. Brock Nelson then capitalized on his own rebound to put the Avalanche ahead 3-2. The Maple Leafs regained control in the second period, with Nylander scoring his second goal of the game and Easton Cowan adding a one-timer to extend Toronto's lead. Auston Matthews added two more goals for the Maple Leafs, including a power-play goal in the third period, while Nathan MacKinnon netted two goals for Colorado. The Avalanche finished the game 0 for 5 on their power play, including a power play goal allowed early in the second period. The Maple Leafs will continue their three-game road trip with a game in Utah on Tuesday night.",
