On October 23, 2026, Troy Stecher scored with 26.3 seconds left to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs past the New York Rangers in a 5-4 victory at Scotiabank Arena. The Leafs’ unlikely heroes included Teddy Blueger and Brandon Duhaime, who each scored their first goal of the season. The game saw back-and-forth action with goals traded frequently; however, Stecher’s late score secured Toronto's third straight win. Dylan Garand started for New York but struggled with rebound control, allowing 31 shots to make it past him.
