Chychrun scores in OT as Coyotes get wild win over Leafs

TORONTO — Jakob Chychrun scored his second goal of the game at 2:17 of overtime as the Arizona Coyotes blew a 4-1 lead in the third period before securing their fourth straight victory, 5-4, over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Alex Galchenyuk had a goal and an assist, Travis Boyd and Christian Fischer also scored for Arizona (18-35-4). Scott Wedgewood made 34 saves for the Coyotes.

Auston Matthews added to his NHL-leading total with the star centre’s 44th goal of the season for Toronto (37-16-5).

Alexander Kerfoot, with a goal and two assists, Pierre Engvall and William Nylander provided the rest of the offence for the Leafs. A shaky Petr Mrazek allowed four goals on 12 shots before being replaced midway through the second period.

Recalled on an emergency basis with No. 1 goalie Jack Campbell nursing a rib injury for at least the next two weeks, Swedish rookie Erik Kallgren made seven saves in relief.

Chychrun scored the winner off a pass from Matias Maccelli after Matthews felt he was interfered with on the backcheck. And Toronto's best player let the officials know it as the Coyotes celebrated.

Kallgren robbed Shayne Gostisbehere earlier in overtime before Wedgewood did the same at the other end.

Down 4-1 through 40 minutes, Kerfoot scored his 10th at 3:38 of the third to get Toronto within two. Matthews then moved in alone and slid his 44th at 8:07 past Wedgewood on a sequence that was allowed to continue before the buzzer at Scotiabank Arena sounded to halt play.

Nylander tied it just 10 seconds later when he slid his 23rd through Wedgewood to send the crowd into another frenzy as Toronto scored three times in a span of 4:39.

Kerfoot almost had his second of the night with three minutes left in regulation, but
