William Nylander picked up a loose puck deep in the Wild zone and slipped around a pair of Minnesota defenders to score an overtime winner 1:05 into the extra period, giving Toronto a 2-1 win over Minnesota Friday night.
Both Toronto and Minnesota killed off late third-period power plays as the low-scoring game was destined for overtime.
Minnesota’s overtime loss draws them to within one point of Winnipeg for second in the Central Division.
