US EditionMatthews and Joshua score 8 seconds apart to help Leafs rally past Blackhawks 3-2
Toronto scored two goals within eight seconds after a power-play tie, overcoming Chicago’s strong penalty kill ranked fourth in the NHL, despite missing key centre Connor Bedard.
- On Tuesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied as Auston Matthews tied the game on a power play and Joshua batted in a rebound eight seconds later to complete the comeback.
- With Bedard out, the Hawks leaned on defensive basics and penalty killing; Connor Bedard was placed on Chicago's injured reserve Monday for at least two weeks with 19 goals and 25 assists in 31 games.
- A video replay overturned Teuvo Teravainen's goal with 8:33 left in the first; Spencer Knight stopped 24 shots despite yielding the rebound for the deciding goal.
- Fans began booing late before Ekman-Larsson's goal shifted momentum, and Toronto visits the Washington Capitals on Thursday while Chicago heads to the Montreal Canadiens Thursday.
- Chicago leaned into a defence-first game plan in Bedard's absence, focusing on breaking up passes and shooting through traffic as their penalty-kill unit ranked fourth versus Toronto's power play tied for 30th Tuesday.
