It was a real nail biter at the end, but the Toronto Maple Leafs edged the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 last night.
There was no scoring in the first period.
Zach Hyman, who was questionable for last night's game because of an Upper Body injury, scored just 53 seconds into the second period to put the Leafs ahead 1-0.
Josh Leivo put the Leafs up by two goals at 7:14.
At 11:37 of the second period, Ron Hainsey scored to make it a 3-0 game.
The 'Canes. finally got on the scoreboard with a goal by Derek Ryan at 13:35.
At the end of the second period, the Leafs were ahead 4-1.
At 3:08 of the third period, Patrick Marleau made it 5-2.
It seemed as if Toronto had the game in control.
Carolina, however, scored two more goals before the period was over.
The Hurricanes scrambled to tie the game with the extra attacker, but Leaf's goalie, Frederik Andersen stood his ground and Toronto walked away with the victory.
Andersen stopped 43 shots last night.
Toronto's Jake Gardiner had two assists last night.
Carolina's Jeff Skinner also finished the night with two assists.
Toronto host the Washington Capitals tonight.
