In Stockholm, William Nylander had an assist in regulation on Sunday, to extend his point streak to 17 games.

“He’s got such confidence and swagger here now that he is just feeling like he can turn a game at any point in time,” Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said. “He stepped up in big moments and was a huge part of why we got four points here.”

For good measure, he struck for the game-winning goal at 3:09 of extra time to give the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild.

“It’s pretty special to get the OT winner there,” Nylander said. “It was a great four points for us here.”

The contest ended a four-game week in Stockholm as part of the NHL’s Global Series.

“It’s a fitting end to the week for sure, for us, for Willie, for the fans, for the city, the country, all that kind of stuff,” Keefe said. “I think it is a terrific close to the event; terrific how it works. I would prefer, of course, that we didn’t get to the overtime. If that is what we have to do to have a finish like that, we’ll take it.”

Jake Middleton pulled the Wild within one at 3-2 at 6:10 of the third.

“We played really well the last 40 minutes,” the Wild’s Marcus Foligno said. “We have a lot of good things to take away from this trip. We had some fun off the ice and found our game a little on the ice and that is what we came here to do. We could have had four points.”

Mats Zuccarello  hit for the tying strike at 8:42.

Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves in the loss.
