At 2:13 of overtime, Rielly put the finishing touches on a precious two points for the visitors with a seeing-eye shot that beat Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward, giving the Maple Leafs a third consecutive victory with a grinding 3-2 win at the PNC Arena. Thanks to Rielly’s goal, the Leafs leapfrogged the New York Islanders into the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with 76 points. With the Hurricanes goalie behind the net, the puck slid along the boards past him into the far corner. Just minutes after his goal, van Riemsdyk bumped the Hurricanes goalie while battling with Klas Dahlbeck in the Carolina crease. Ward was peeved and seconds later took a Josh Donaldson-like hack at the Leafs forward, who was fortunate that no contact was made.
