NHL Highlights | Sabres vs. Maple Leafs | October 25, 2025

Craig, no. William Knander tonight. Yeah, and on 
the heels of one of William Knander’s most dynamic games. He was all around the puck last night. 
That’s a big loss. See who ends up getting on that right side with Austin Matthews. The puck 
shot down on to Primo who is able to turn that towards Benois up the boards. Dakota Joshua, 
Nick Wah, and East Cowan. Cool as a leap, but back the other way, it’s Tage Thompson. 
Here’s Thompson to Betsa into the middle and Samuelson a shot. He had two goals last night. 
Done there to intercept that and play it to center. Quickly back in comes Tovaris. Here’s 
Dvaris in front. A rebound and nine hold down. Primo able to get good positioning at the top 
of the blue and make a save. Keep and Uncle Wayne also in attendance. There’s Dene again. 
That last shot was 92.1 offensive zone time. Here’s the intight play that Tucker sometimes 
Tucker gets it up and off the crossbar. Then the quick shot that Thompson gets through and 
that’s probably the best save for Primo. But Primo know he doesn’t have a control of it. Looks 
back behind him twice. Does a good job though of trying to keep those pads anchored. Watch the 
quick little peak behind. Oh my gosh. Where is it? It’s in between. He feels it. Gets his glove 
behind and boy, great positioning by the official. Jason Zucker seven times a 20 goal scorer. Benson 
Zucker tries to jam it and Primo down underneath Primo and finally the whistle sounds and never had 
that much ice time in a single game. Over the line it goes. And here’s Kulich looking across. Another 
big shot scores. Paige Thompson has opened the scoring and goals in backto back against the Leaf. 
You got the monkey off the back. And sometimes all you need is just a little bit of confidence to 
get you rolling. That that’s an NHL shot there by Thompson. Just the quick release. Look at that 
top corner. There’s about Boy, just not much there at all. As you can see at the last second, Primo 
tries to get the shoulder up. He’s down early and Thompson puts it to duck a check from Robertson. 
up ahead for Tuck and Mloud and Byum that’s turned aside on a good stop by Primo gets it across 
from Melli and back. Matthews up front along with Tamarz and Ny parked in front deflecting 
it and it stays out as look at it. N will swing it around behind the net. Here’s Matthews 
trying to come out in front. Watched by Byron Cowan up with the Robertson scores. Nick Robertson 
for East Cowan and the Leafs have tied it. Continuing on this shift, Matthew starts it with 
a couple of one battles against Byron. Protect the puck. Loses it once. gets some help from 
Cal and then right on the doorstep. You know, part of the thing you watch that play in 
the corner and then get to the area in front of the net and it’s Robertson who 
gets inside Don and gets on his stick on it before and you talk about a guy who’s 
looking for Matthew Ny and Matias Machelli Charlotte up a hit to in comes NY had 
a close call in the opening period. Davar is downhill. It’s up. Scores Machelli and 
the Leafs have their first lead of the night in the league. And here’s another simple 
play. You’re trapped along the boards, follow it up. Nice play by Knives, but he gets 
the puck taken away from him. But look at the nifty little play through three sticks. And to 
Mars, the one thing he does so effectively is can handle the puck in tight areas. Gets it here, 
gets it to an area around the sticks and then just slides it off to the jelly. Right up wants his 
team to be heavy on the for check. Leafs do have the lead for the first time on an early goal, 
but Tate stopped it in front and Primo rebound. And that was stopped by Matthews in behind 
Primo as Papalore comes close. But it Matthews does here. He gets the wrong side of the play 
here. So Thompson makes the play at the net, but Matthews gets behind. Ends up saving a 
goal there. That’s as good as putting one in at the other end. You can see the quick little 
shuttle pass. Great patience there by Thompson, but right on the doorstep. Boy, Matthews helps. 
Knocked off the stick of Ecman Larson. Here’s Benson to the net. Great to check. Rebound 
scores. Kick has tied it. And here’s Albert Ein Larson. End of a long shift after the power 
play. Benson comes and he gets that little push. That’s what Creole will having a look at here. 
You be the judge. Nobody takes Benson in. Oh, I’m challenging that if I’m the Maple Leaf. 
See, that’s that’s his positioning. Nobody there around Benson. Good aggressive play, but 
that contact there just blew the goalender out. left the hole happen after discussion by the all 
nice officials. There was goalender interference. We had one goal. Okay, they don’t even don’t 
even need. You know that’s what the system is there for. And Lorett with a burst. Here’s 
Lorenzian. Tied up but got a shot away. Oh, almost a spectacular play. Scoring chance and 
almost highlight real material swinging in deep. He’ll feed it back to the line and across for 
Byum. Back it goes to Timmons. Byum will send it to net. Scores. Byum through some heavy traffic in 
front. Has tied it. Get the puck from the corner back to the point. It starts with Tuck. Gets 
inside position on Ben Wad. Now you got Dome. A double whammy. Dome gets underneath on Dooi. Byron 
with his head up. Loren can’t get the block there. And that one finds its way through the myriad of 
bodies and legs. And you can see how back to Dene. Zack Benson watched by Nice. Able to get that 
pass to Dalene through traffic. A chance scores and Tons’s got another. And a go-ahead goal 
for Buffalo. A sight of the rebound. He’s got Zucker in front. So you’re just trying 
to track the puck and when it comes down, look at the late reaction. He never saw it pass 
the body of Mabe. And McCabe as he goes down unable to get it and a quick release there. 
No reaction of Primo except hearing it go in the back of the net behind him. Look at the 
eyes of Primo. Didn’t see it right through. And up the hit for Tvaris. Jake McCabe. Back to 
Joshua over the line. Here’s Dakota. Joshua in. Dakota Joshua fundamentals of the game. Nothing 
really happening. It’s end to end action. You make one play and go hard to the net. And it’s Nick 
who goes hard to the net. Takes a couple of bodies with him. Not sure if it hit him in front, but 
Joshua just extended it to the outside far enough. Oh, that one just got by Lucinan. Watch 
Lucin’s reaction as this one came through underneath the glove. He thought that he had it 
instead. And back the other way goes Quinn and Thompson. Jack Quinn and the path broken up. 
Power over skates the puck as he had a clear break. Now the other way. It’s a breakaway. 
John Tamarz scores. 499. is a game winner. with a heads up play. No panic.
