William Nylander had two goals and an assist in the third period, helping the Maple Leafs rally for a wild 4-3 victory over the Penguins.

The Maple Leafs, meanwhile, have been one of the most underwhelming teams in the league through the first month of the season. The Buds were expected to take a step back after losing Mitch Marner in the offseason, but a 6-5-1 start against a soft schedule is a disappointment for Toronto.

The Leafs have $3.6 million in current cap space, but no open roster spots available for him. Toronto is exploring trades involving Kampf since the offseason but has found no takers, with centers John Tavares, Auston Matthews, Max Domi, Scott Laughton, and Nicolas Roy all ahead of Kampf on the depth chart.

Maple Leafs forward William Nylander, who has missed three of the last four games, is set to return on Monday against the Penguins.

Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Easton Cowan took a huge step forward in his young NHL career on Saturday. Cowan finally scored his first NHL goal in his ninth game with the Maple Leafs, marking a career milestone in Toronto's 5–2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

For the Toronto Maple Leafs forward, it is fitting that November is Hockey Fights Cancer Month. After all, it was last November -- the 14th, to be exact -- when he was able to return to the game he loved after going through his own battle with the heinous disease.
