The Toronto Maple Leafs welcomed the Vegas Golden Knights to Toronto after winning three straight games against the Flyers, Bruins, and Hurricanes and attempted to win four straight for the first time this season.
It was a challenge for third string goaltender Erik Källgren, facing off against a strong Golden Knights team, and he was challenged early after Rasmus Sandin let Nicolas Roy get past him to score forty-five seconds into the game.
The Maple Leafs get the Knights penned into their own zone five minutes later, and Timothy Liljegren gets to take advantage of the situation, and after Morgan Rielly saves the puck from escaping, Liljegren scores from beside the net to tie the game.
