In Ottawa, the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs held a 2-1 lead over the Senators midway through the second period.

The problem was, the Leafs forgot about the final 30 minutes and surrendered four straight goals to the Sens in a 5-3 loss on Friday night.

Matt Murray made 20 saves for Ottawa in the win.

“You can see why he’s an elite goalie in the League,” Ottawa head coach D.J. Smith said of Murray, who won the Stanley Cup twice with the Pittsburgh Penguins (2016, 2017). “He doesn’t panic; he just reads the play. He got scored on and just [went] back to work.”

Zach Hyman and Alexander Kerfoot scored to gave Toronto the 2-1 lead.

Ottawa’s Thomas Chabot tied the game at 1-1 with less than a minute left on the clock in the opening frame.

Brady Tkachuk, Austin Watson, Derek Stepan, and Chris Tierney also scored for Ottawa.

“That was an amazing feeling,” Tkachuk said. “I missed those winning ways, and that’s what we’re going to preach here. We want to win games, we want to be a playoff team, so hopefully we can keep going, keep learning from the mistakes we made tonight.”

John Tavares added a late so-what goal for the Maple Leafs.

“I thought we did a good job of working as five-man units,” Stepan said. “What I liked is that, in the third, we didn’t just sit back. We pushed the pace a little bit and played some offense.”

Frederik Andersen made 19 saves in the loss.

“We just had a really poor response after we took the lead,” Tavares said. “We controlled a lot of the game, obviously playing in their half of the ice, got a big goal. Just a very poor response, gave them life, and we weren’t able to establish our game again.”
