Tyler Johnson and Cedric Paquette combined for four goals while Andrei Vasilevskiy improved to 12-1-2 in his past 15 starts in the Lightning's win over the Leafs.
Minus winger Kasperi Kapanen because of illness, as well as injured defencemen Jake Gardiner and Travis Dermott , the Leafs were playing the first game back at Scotiabank Arena after grabbing five of six points on their annual trip through Western Canada.
Toronto, which was 6-1-1 over its last eight following a 0-2-1 skid, fell behind by three at 4:20 of the second when the rebound of McDonagh’s shot fell to Brayden Point, who kicked the puck into the path of Johnson for a tap-in. But any thought of a comeback was put to rest with 1:44 left in period on a sequence that summed up the Leafs’ night.
