Auston Matthews scored twice, and Joseph Woll made 21 saves for the Maple Leafs (28-16-2), who had lost three in a row in regulation. Marner and Jake McCabe, who returned after missing the past four games with an upper-body injury, each had two assists.

William Nylander scored his second goal of the game at 1:10 of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.

In the last meeting of the season between the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs, it was the first time head coach Sheldon Keefe would return to Toronto since last season.
