Game Highlights: Maple Leafs 3, Blues 2 (OT)

[Music] Steven Lorent on the draw for Toronto. The Blues won the opening draw and in his 10,000th game. The first touch to Justin Faulk who drives it into the Maple Leaf zone. Nathan Walker to center. Thumps it in. Caught by Tvaris. Riley going after it to Sunquist is check. Good cut off on the near wing by Torchenko. Center to Walker. Who the save and the Leafs put it into their own net. That hit off his stick as Walker put it to the front of the net and trying to knock it out of the air. Toronto with an own goal. I’m Robo Cam. Oscar Sunquest is going to make this play originally. Watch this pass from behind the net. He’s going to find Nathan Walker right there and then the puck’s going to bounce around a little bit and it looked like it’s going to end up on the stick of Knander. Knander is going to bat it out of the air into his own net. So, this will be Nathan Walker’s credit. There’s the bat right there. I’m not sure where kneelander was going on that puck. Maybe going same sequence that led to chances out for blues. Dakota Joshua still wearing number 81. He’s now with Toronto, the team that originally drafted him. McCabe with a shot that’s blocked to Shen. Comes back to him and he shoots and scores. That big body of Joshua screening Bennington and McCabe with a wrist shot from the blue line. Top corner. Leafs have tied the game 1-1. And then now you’re going to see the goal. McCabe’s going to shoot this puck. Shen cannot get it out. You see how it just bounced right over his stick right there. That is an easy clear for Braden Shen and it’s going to bounce right over there. He cannot corral that puck. It goes right back to McCabe. That’s the bounce. Bounced on Ecman Larson and it’s cleared back out. Oscar is going to dump it in. Leaves break up the right wing. Now Blade throws on the brakes. centers, shoots, scores. Lorenz puts the Leaf on top two to one. [Music] Well, it was the fourth line for St. Louis in the first and now it’s the fourth line. Cam, we’re going to take a look. Good look here at former blue Sammy Blaze going to turn up right there. He’s going to lose Cam Fowler briefly and then makes just an exceptional pass through the middle of the ice to Steven Lorent. Here’s that button up. Buys himself a little time. He puts it right through the seam right in front of Matthew Kessle. And then Loren is going to test Bennington far side. Goes right below the glove for Toronto’s first lead of this. Great dive by Butch Navage. Kept it alive for D’Vorski. Fowler holds it in. Thomas far wing score. Stick exchange. What a dart by D’Vorski. 22 on the power play goal. 642 to go in the second. There’s the exchange right there. They finally exchanged it. So the fours now doesn’t have a stick, but still it’s just kind of a chaotic state. And Robert Thomas does just a heck of a job picking up on it. He recognizes that seams are starting to open up and he hits D’Vorski on that back door. Unable to get the second power play goal in a row, but we’re tied 2-2 at 223. Kyru’s there. Shoots it. Whoa. Mike Hashik makes a nice save and that puck to the near side. Here is your Liberty Mutual Insurance crease coverage play. Look at this slip pass from Dylan Holloway to Jordan Ky. The patience. the patience. He just cannot tuck it in. Sending it out. 11 seconds to go. It’s kicked in by Cali Yarncro. Justin Fox going to take it into the corner. Chipped away to Walker and the Blues get it out. We’re going to head to overtime. Long pass comes up to Tavaris. Broberg catching up to him. Stays on Tvaris and the Blues get three around Jonathan Tvaris. And then what a kick out to Riley. far wing to drag. Knander tucks it in and scores. [Music] They couldn’t deny Kneelander the whole way and the Leafs beat the Blues in overtime on a spectacular move. Really transpired. Just so much defense. Hollowway shot. He’s going to faint on it. That puck comes up on end. Toronto is eventually going to find it in the offensive zone. You’re going to see Jonathan Tvaris right here. Okay. It’s a stall puck. It’s a threeonone. The Blues can’t get it. There’s three bodies around Cavar. Watch him. He’s going to kick it out with the skate right there. That’s the battle that the Blues have to have. They don’t get it. And eventually it finds William Knander. Look at this move. Forehand, backhand, toe drag around Bennington. Almost puts him in a pretzel. And William Knander absolutely

Defenseman Justin Faulk played in his 1,000th career NHL game as the St. Louis Blues fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2 in overtime on Nov. 18, 2025.
