NEW YORK (AP) — Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner each scored twice, and veteran Martin Jones made 28 saves in his first start for Toronto as the Maple Leafs beat the New York Rangers 7-3 on Tuesday night.

Matthews added two assists and the Maple Leafs also got goals from Conor Timmins and Calle Jarnkrok in improving to 5-0-2 in their last seven games.

Toronto led 4-1 after 20 minutes but New York scored twice in the second period to narrow the deficit to one before Marner got his second of the night on a power play early in the third.

Blake Wheeler scored twice and Mika Zibanejad had a goal for the Rangers, who lost for the third time in four games.
