William Nylander recorded the 300th goal of his NHL career.
With the goal, Nylander passed Rick Vaive for the 6th most goals in franchise history and becomes the 6th player to score 300 goals with the club.
Marshall Rifai gets his first NHL goal in his 5th career game as a #Leaf giving the team the 6-2 lead!
