Toronto Maple Leafs secure a hard-fought overtime victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Defenseman Jake McCabe sustains an upper-body injury during a fight with Garnet Hathaway.
The Toronto Maple Leafs secured a hard-fought 3-2 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. However, the win came at a cost as defenseman Jake McCabe suffered an upper-body injury following a fight with Flyers forward Garnet Hathaway late in the first period. McCabe challenged Hathaway after the Flyers player ran into Toronto goaltender Dennis Hildeby, leading to a brief but intense scuffle.
McCabe fell awkwardly after absorbing a blow to the head, requiring assistance from teammates and the trainer. He did not return to the game. Toronto coach Craig Berube expressed concern over the incident, praising McCabe's loyalty to his team but emphasizing his dislike for seeing such a fight. Adding to the Leafs' worries, McCabe previously missed five games this season due to a head injury from a puck. Despite the injury setback, McCabe's teammates rallied around him, ultimately winning the game in overtime. Morgan Rielly scored the game-winning goal, assisted by Auston Matthews, in the second period of overtime. This marked Rielly's fifth goal of the season and his sixth overtime goal in his NHL career. Knies and Oliver Ekman-Larsson also contributed to Toronto's scoring effort, while Philadelphia's Tyson Foerster and Scott Laughton scored for the Flyers
