In a triumphant return, Matt Murray made 25 saves in his first NHL start in nearly 21 months, leading the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 6-3 victory over the struggling Buffalo Sabres. This win marked the Maple Leafs' fifth in six games, while the Sabres extended their winless streak to 0-9-3.

Max Domi, Bobby McMann, and Nicholas Robertson each contributed with a goal and an assist for Toronto. Buffalo's JJ Peterka, Mattias Samuelsson, and Owen Power also had notable performances, but it wasn't enough to halt their downward spiral.
