The Toronto Maple Leafs scored two goals in the final minutes of the third period to earn a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. But it was more of an annoying game where they managed to get the full two points, than anything that felt like a positive step forward.

In any other circumstance than this current Maple Leafs season, seeing Auston Matthews score in vintage fashion to tie the game and then a key offseason addition like Dakota Joshua score the game-winner just eight seconds later, would have been electric.
