The Toronto Maple Leafs rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena, scoring three third-period goals to complete the comeback.Toronto trailed through much of the first two periods after early goals from Chicago and struggled with puck management. The turning point came in the third period when Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored to cut the deficit to 2-1.Just under four minutes later, Auston Matthews tied the game 2-2 on the power play after William Nylander forced a turnover. Matthews walked into space and finished, igniting the crowd after boos had been audible earlier in the game.Addressing both the goal and the crowd’s reaction afterward, Matthews said:“The boo birds were coming down, rightfully so. I think after that first goal, the crowd really got into it, which is great, and then after the second one, the place was rocking. Good to get that one, and good for the power play as well and a good way to finish off the game.”He also acknowledged his hand-to-ear celebration following the tying goal, explaining it was simply excitement in the moment rather than a planned message.“Just excitement. It’s just kind of all in the moment. You’re not really thinking too much, I guess,” he said.Eight seconds after Matthews’ equalizer, Dakota Joshua scored the game-winning goal. Matthews finished the night with a goal and an assist.Auston Matthews claims Leafs are staying positive inside the locker roomWhen asked about the team’s overall game, the Leafs captain broke down the night plainly and without much embellishment. He said it was a good win overall, even if the game briefly slipped away after the first ten minutes of the opening period when turnovers piled up and a few bad breaks followed.He felt the group responded in the second by competing harder, keeping spirits up in the locker roo,m and holding each other accountable.“It’s nice that we come in the locker room and guys are staying positive. We’re holding each other accountable. We just got to go out there and compete a little bit harder, play the right way, keep things simple,” he said.He also stressed how well Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been playing and how big that first goal was. He said the team liked the momentum heading into the third, even if offense was hard to come by, and that once the first one went in, things snowballed faster than expected.The win improved Toronto to 15-12-5, and they are currently 6th in the Atlantic Division.
