William Nylander scored two goals and tied his career high with three assists to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night in Denver. The game saw Nylander's five-point performance help turn the tide after Nathan MacKinnon had given Colorado a brief lead, leading to eventual losses for the Avs despite their strong first-half play and eight seconds of a two-man advantage early in the second period.

Story summary
On Saturday, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Colorado Avalanche 6-3 at Bell Arena in Denver. Coach Jim Hiller chose Sergei Bobrovsky over Anthony Stolarz as the starting goaltender, and Bobrovsky's performance was pivotal to the victory despite the Avalanche outshooting the Leafs 33-21. William Nylander had a standout game with five points (two goals and three assists), tying his career high. Auston Matthews also contributed significantly with two goals and two assists. The Leafs' resilience, particularly in the second half of the game, was highlighted by consecutive goals from Nylander and Easton Cowan late in the second period. This win marked Toronto's third victory of the season and Bobrovsky’s first.
