Zach Hyman, who had the short-handed goal, and Auston Matthews each scored twice as the Leafs snapped a two-game losing streak. The Leafs have now outscored their opponents 13-2 in the first period in eight games under new coach Sheldon Keefe. The win answered, for one game, concerns over bad habits creeping into the Leafs’ game. The Leafs scored four goals on their first eight shots, knocking St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington from the game. If that’s the threshold this season, the Leafs would need 66 points from their final 51 games.
