TORONTO — Jake Guentzel scored the only goal of the shootout to go along with two assists as the Carolina Hurricanes came back from a 4-2 deficit late in regulation to down the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Saturday.
Sebastian Aho, with two goals and an assist, Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis scored in regulation for Carolina . Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 36 shots.
The Leafs played without Mitch Marner and fellow forward Calle Jarnkrok . The Hurricanes played without winger Teuvo Teravainen . Nylander doubled the lead at 6:27 as he roofed his 36th on another break before Robertson — in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 29 — took a pass from Tavares in tight and buried his ninth upstairs for a 3-0 lead.Jarvis added another with 2.7 seconds left on the clock when he scored his 22nd for a 3-2 deficit through 40 minutes.
Samsonov left Saturday’s morning skate in apparent discomfort, but Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe put any fears to rest when he playfully opened his pre-game media availability with: “Sammy’s fine. He’ll play tonight. Leave me alone.”One of three puck-stoppers on Carolina's roster, former Toronto netminder Frederik Andersen returned to action last week after recovering from a blood-clotting issue that sidelined him since November.
