Tavares cut it to 5-4 with 59 seconds remaining when he deflected Mitch Marner 's shot from the point over Alexandar Georgiev 's blocker. Nylander then scored his second of the game from the right hash marks with 14 seconds left to tie it 5-5. Both goals came with Joseph Woll on the bench for the extra skater.

The Toronto Maple Leafs returned to practice at Ford Performance Centre on Tuesday following their three-game California road trip, preparing for a divisional matchup against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday.
