Auston Matthews scored at 4:46 of overtime and added three assists in regulation, and those four points pulled the Maple Leafs out of a 3-0 deficit for a 5-4 win over the Nashville Predators. The scoring sheet carries the more useful detail: Nylander, rookie Gavin McKenna with his first goal as a professional, John Tavares and Jack Roslovic also scored, giving Toronto five different scorers.
That spread matters for a team now 2-2-0. A comeback built on one player is hard to repeat, while one built on depth scoring is a pattern a coach can plan around. McKenna's goal also adds to the case that the No. 1 pick can contribute in a lineup that has not needed him to carry anything yet.
The cost was four goals allowed, even with Anthony Stolarz making 21 saves. Nashville got two goals each from Steven Stamkos, who moved into 17th on the NHL all-time list, and Nils Hoglander, with Juuse Saros stopping 33 shots. The lapses that created a three-goal hole will get more attention on tape than the finish, and Thursday's game in Vegas is the next chance to see which of the two repeats.
