Mitch Marner scored twice in the second period to lead Toronto to a 3-2 victory over Utah, extending the Maple Leafs' winning streak to four. Marner's performance also saw him surpass Syl Apps on the franchise's all-time goal list.
TORONTO — On a night where William and Alex Nylander entered the Maple Leaf record book, it was business as usual for Mitch Marner .
Marner's seventh and eighth goals of the season upped his career total to 202, moving him past Syl Apps into 14th place on the franchise all-time goal list. Down 1-0 after a sluggish opening period, Toronto turned it up in the second with three goals in five minutes 35 seconds. The Leafs outshot Utah 16-6 in the period.
William Nylander scored his 14th goal for Toronto. His 231st career goal was also his 43rd game-winning goal, tying George Amstrong for sixth on the franchise all-time list for game-winners. "An amazing feeling," added Alex."A really special feeling to be here on this team with my brother here. It's something I'll remember forever."
Marner says the Nylanders, who last played together for Sweden in the 2016 world junior championship, are cut from the same cloth.
