Arvid Soderblom stopped 35 shots for the
Blackhawks.
John Tavares scored for Toronto, which won its first two games
of the season.
Joseph Woll, playing for the first time this season, made 27
saves for the Maple Leafs, who completed a three-game homestand
to open the new campaign.
The Blackhawks had a 9-7 advantage in shots on goal in a
scoreless first. Chicago's Connor Murphy and Toronto's Noah
Gregor were given fighting majors at the 19:38 mark of the
period.
The Blackhawks took a 1-0 lead at 2:59 of the second period on
Entwistle's goal from the low slot following a pair of defensive
mistakes from Toronto.
Tavares tied the score from the high slot at 5:14 of the second
after William Nylander's slick drop pass.
Perry scored on a breakaway at 14:46 of the second after he was
put in the clear by a long outlet pass from Alex Vlasic.
Johnson split the defense during a power play at 17:05 of the
second to score his third goal of the season. Toronto's Tyler
Bertuzzi was serving a high-sticking penalty.
Chicago had a 22-19 edge in shots on goal after two periods.
The Maple Leafs dominated the early minutes of the third period,
and they also killed a minor penalty, holding Chicago to zero
shots during the power play.
It was then Toronto's turn to go on the power play when
Entwistle was called for high sticking at 11:52. But like the
Blackhawks, the Leafs had no success on the man advantage.
Toronto removed Woll for an extra attacker with about four
minutes to play. Soderblom made a big save on Tavares soon
after.
Taylor Hall scored into an empty net at 19:04, but the goal was
disallowed because the play was offside.
Auston Matthews had a goal called back for offside in the final
seconds.
Raddysh then scored into an empty net.
