Max Domi scored at 3:08 of overtime on a two-on-one with Auston Matthews to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.
Domi also picked up an assist, Matthews scored his 24th goal of the season and Oliver Ekman-Larsson had a goal and two assists. Bobby McMann also scored for the Leafs (24-16-8) and Morgan Rielly added two helpers.
Dennis Hildeby stopped 27 shots for Toronto, which ended a four-game road trip going 2-1-1.
The loss halted Winnipeg’s win streak at four games.
Alex Iafallo, Kyle Connor and Nino Niederreiter scored for the Jets (19-22-6) in front of their fifth sellout of the season at Canada Life Centre and Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves.
The Jets held a 3-1 lead early in the third period, but McMann’s 15th goal of the season tied it up with 4:27 remaining in regulation.

There was no scoring in the first period, but the Jets got very close.
Kyle Connor’s shot with five minutes left hit the post and flew out, with the green goal light even flicking on. The rebound went out to Mark Scheifele, whose shot was denied by Hildeby’s paddle.
One second after a Winnipeg power play expired, Iafallo tipped in a Logan Stanley shot at 2:23 of the second period.
Connor’s 23rd goal of the season made it 2-0 six seconds after another Toronto penalty expired, but Matthews replied 23 seconds later to close the gap at 9:22.
Niederreiter spun around in the slot and fired a shot past Hildeby at 2:28 of the third to make it 3-1, ending a 21-game goal drought.
The two-goal cushion didn’t last long when Ekman-Larsson beat Hellebuyck 2½ minutes later.
McMann then tipped in a shot from Ekman-Larsson to tie it 3-3 at 15:33.
Winnipeg went on the power play with 3:13 remaining off a Matthew Knies’ penalty for high-sticking. A shot by Jonathan Toews hit the crossbar and went out.
