Colorado was down 3-1 in the first period break when Toronto visited NHL ice hockey.

It was 4-1 before the home team started to get the pucks in and in the third managed to catch up.

Colorado eventually won 5-4 in overtime.

- In the first period, we did not really stick to our strategy of how we want to play.

And it really shows in the position after the first.

But we made sure to do what was required and you see what happens when we make an effort, says Devon Toews from the ice after the match.

With the crucial extra time goal, Toews reached 100 points during his NHL career.

His summary is shared by Colorado coach Jared Bednar.

- This shows what our team has in them when we work in this way, both forwards and backwards, he says during the press conference after the match.

Colorado has now won eleven home games in a row, which is a new club record.

Landeskog scored a goal and an assist.

Ekholm goal scorer

Some who also got a 3-1 lead but who managed to keep it were Nashville against Arizona.

Mattias Ekholm started Nashville's goal shooting and 3-0 after the first period became 4-2 before the final signal sounded.

Boston defeated Tampa Bay away 5-2.

Linus Ullmark saved 27 shots in the Boston goal.

- It's always fun to play against the league's best team, because you really have to sharpen up and play at the top all the time.

It's a test of your game and your mental strength.

That's what we're playing for.

We play to be the best, and if you want to be the best you have to defeat the best, he says according to nhl.com.

Anton Blidh scored a goal for Boston, his second of the season, with an assist from Oskar Steen.
