BOTTOM LINE: The Toronto Maple Leafs look to break their three-game losing streak when they take on the New Jersey Devils. Toronto has a 17-9-0 record in home games and a 27-16-2 record overall. The Maple Leafs have gone 11-6-0 when they serve fewer penalty minutes than their opponent.

TORONTO (AP) — William Nylander scored his second goal of the game at 1:10 of overtime to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. Devils coach Sheldon Keefe was back at Scotiabank Arena as a visitor for the first time since being fired by the Maple Leafs in the spring.

TORONTO -- Sheldon Keefe coached 172 regular-season games at Scotiabank Arena when he was with the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2019-24. So to say his trip to the arena on Thursday was familiar, right down to the traffic, is fair.

New Jersey Devils coach Sheldon Keefe admitted that he is looking forward to his first game back at Scotiabank Arena since the Toronto Maple Leafs relieved him of his duties over the summer.

Like the rest of us, New Jersey Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe is actively trying to achieve a healthy work-life balance. In addition to the title of head coach of an NHL team, he is a husband to his wife, Jackie, and father to two sons, Wyatt and Landon.

The New Jersey Devils are trying to return to form in the new year and their next test comes against a Toronto Maple Leafs team in the midst of their own funk.
