Ross Colton scored twice while Steven Stamkos, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Corey Perry, Pat Maroon, and Ondrej Palat also found the back of the net. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 22 of 25 as he picked up yet another win following a loss in the postseason.
On the other side of the ice, William Nylander scored twice while Jake Muzzin added a late goal to account for the Leafs offense.
