Joseph Woll made 29 saves for the Leafs, who improved to 9-3-1 over the past 13 games and 19-11-2 on the road this season.

Utah tied it 3-3 on a power play at 12:11 as Hayton deflected a Mikhail Sergachev point shot past Woll.
Toronto outshot Utah 13-4 in the first period and led 2-0 thanks to a pair of power-play markers.
Nylander opened the scoring, snapping a shot blocker-side past Vejmelka at 12:42, his team-leading 36th goal.
Toronto doubled its lead with 21.9 seconds remaining in the first as Jarnkrok one-timed a Max Domi feed past Vejmelka for his first goal since Jan. 6, 2024.
With the secondary assist, Morgan Rielly (418 assists) moved into seventh on the Maple Leafs' all-time list.
Benoit gave the Toronto a 3-0 lead at 4:48 of the second period as his point shot got past a screened Vejmelka.
