Third-period goals by Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Matthews and Joshua
erased Toronto's two-goal deficit and complete a wild comeback.
Joseph Woll made 23 saves and the Maple Leafs earned just their
second victory this season after trailing after two periods.
Wyatt Kaiser and Jason Dickinson, short-handed, staked Chicago
to a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Spencer Knight stopped 24 shots in the loss.
The Blackhawks were without third-year center Connor Bedard, who
was placed on injured reserve Monday for at least two weeks
because of an upper-body injury. Bedard has a team-high 19 goals
and 25 assists in 31 games.
Without Bedard, Chicago focused on the basics of the game,
breaking up Toronto’s passes, getting bodies in front of Woll,
and shooting through traffic. Teuvo Teravainen had a goal
disallowed with 8:33 left in the first after a video replay
ruled there was goaltender interference.

Blackhawks: Visit Montreal on Thursday.
Maple Leafs: Start a three-game road trip at Washington on
Thursday.
