Before practice on Wednesday morning, Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube pulled Max Domi aside for a chat. Berube did most of the talking for the five minutes or so. When he was done, he tapped Domi on the chest for encouragement.

It was only three games, this most recent losing skid for the Maple Leafs. And William Nylander made certain the slump wouldn't make it to four.

Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube passed on some sage wisdom to forward Max Domi at practice on Wednesday, and now revealed his wise words. With Toronto

William Nylander scored his second goal of the game at 1:10 of overtime and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the visiting New Jersey Devils 4-3 on Thursday night.
