Matt Murray made a triumphant return to the NHL, stopping 25 shots in his first start in nearly 21 months, leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. This win marked the Maple Leafs' fifth victory in six games, while the Sabres extended their winless streak to 12 games.

Key performances came from third-liners Max Domi, Bobby McMann, and Nicholas Robertson, each contributing a goal and an assist. The Sabres struggled, with two goals disallowed, and remain in search of solutions as their skid continues.
