With the score tied early in the third period, Steven Lorentz netted the game-winning goal when the puck took a fortuitous bounce off Sutherland after the referee fell to the ice. Lorentz acknowledged the lucky break but was happy to take it because of the unlucky bounces he experienced earlier this season.

TORONTO (AP) — Joseph Woll was outstanding in making 38 saves and Steven Lorentz scored short-handed early in the third period as the Toronto Maple Leafs topped the Colorado Avalanche 2-1 on Wednesday night. Auston Matthews, with his fourth in the last three games, had the other goal for Toronto.
