Devon Toews had a busy, productive night on the Colorado Avalanche blue line in a 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored a goal and added an assist, finishing plus 5.
His goal came at even strength, 3:31 into the second period. He played 22:06 over 28 shifts, second among Colorado's 18 skaters and second among the team's six defencemen. He put two shots on goal, one at even strength and one on the power play. He added one takeaway and one giveaway, with no hits or blocked shots.
