Leafs Handle Business at Home as Nylander Stays Hot and Maccelli Scores Against His Former Squad
The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to show depth and momentum, skating past the Utah Mammoth with a 5–3 win at Scotiabank Arena. It was a night full of storylines — new faces, familiar firepower, and one emotional homecoming.
