Ottawa tied it on a Magnus Paajarvi goal, his sixth of the year, via Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Maxime Lajoie.

Toronto took the lead on an unassisted Auston Matthews goal, his twenty-fourth of the season. The Maple Leafs added on with a Tavares goal, his thirty-second of the year, guided in by Marner and Kasperi Kapanen. Ottawa got one back with a Thomas Chabot goal, his eleventh of the season, helped along by Brady Tkachuk and Mark Stone in the third period. The Senators tied it as Paajarvi scored his second of the game and seventh of the year, with the help of Zack Smith and Pageau. Toronto regained the lead on a Morgan Rielly goal, his fourteenth of the campaign, with a lone helper from Hyman. This stood for a 5-4 win, with the three stars given to Tavares, Paajrvi, and Hyman, while Pageau and Marner get the honorable mentions.
