Gostisbehere's late power-play winner helps Coyotes past Maple Leafs

Shayne Gostisbehere scored the winner on a power play late in the third period and added an assist as the Arizona Coyotes picked up their first victory of the season by defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Monday night.

Christian Fischer, Nick Ritchie and Lawson Crouse, into an empty net, had the other goals for rebuilding Arizona (1-2-0). Karel Vejmelka made 26 saves for the Coyotes, who blew a 2-0 lead with under eight minutes left in regulation.

William Nylander and Mitch Marner replied for Toronto (2-2-0), while Erik Kallgren made 15 stops in his first start of the season. John Tavares picked up two assists for the 900th point of his career.

Toronto appeared to tie the game when Kerfoot scored with 39 seconds left, but the NHL situation room determined there was a hand pass by Leafs defenceman Morgan Rielly earlier in the sequence, negating the goal.

Crouse iced the game into an empty net with 10.2 seconds left as boos rained down from the stands.
