TORONTO — Mitch Marner scored the only shootout goal in the first round, lifting the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 4-3 win over the Golden Knights on Thursday at Air Canada Centre.
Deryk Engelland had tied it 3-3 on a wrist shot from inside the right circle that flew over the right shoulder of Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen. The Leafs had not picked up Engelland and he took a pass from Shea Theodore to get a clean look at the goal.
In overtime, the Knights had a number of scoring chances but Andersen stopped all five shots.
