Toronto’s 30 Hits Power a 4-2 Win in Vancouver

November 1, 2026 · 1:41 AM

The Maple Leafs ended their two-game skid by spreading the scoring across four players and out-hitting Vancouver 30-26.

Toronto beat Vancouver 4-2 at Rogers Arena, ending its two-game losing streak. Four Maple Leafs—Teddy Blueger, William Nylander, Auston Matthews and Zack MacEwen—each scored, giving Toronto the balanced attack that decided the result. Blueger recorded a goal and an assist, two points on two shots, a plus-two rating and three hits, with no power-play goals. Nylander also had a goal and an assist for two points, adding two shots, a plus-two rating and no hits or power-play goals. Matthews and MacEwen supplied the other Toronto goals; Matthews had two shots and a plus-one, while MacEwen had three shots, a plus-one and one hit. Toronto out-hit Vancouver 30-26, though the Canucks led 29-28 in shots and scored the only listed power-play goal. Anthony Stolarz’s listed line was 27 saves on 29 shots, .931; Leevi Meriläinen’s was 24 on 27, .889, but those goalie lines do not reconcile with the 4-2 final or Vancouver’s 28 shots faced in the team totals.

DYMA Insight

Toronto’s 12th-place power index rating contrasted sharply with Vancouver’s 31st, and the Leafs converted despite being outshot 29-28. Their 30-26 edge in hits helped tilt a tight shot-count game, though the supplied goalie lines contain a mismatch with the final score and team totals.
