Shayne Gostisbehere scored the go-ahead goal on a power play at 18:27 of the third period and the visiting Arizona Coyotes defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 Monday night.

The Maple Leafs thought they had tied the game at 19:21, but it was disallowed after video review because of an illegal hand pass.

Nick Ritchie, Christian Fischer and Gostisbehere each had a goal and an assist for the Coyotes, who won for the first time in three games this season, all on the road. Lawson Crouse added an empty-net goal.

William Nylander and Mitchell Marner scored for the Maple Leafs.

Maple Leafs goaltender Erik Kallgren, making his first start of the season, stopped 15 shots.

Karel Vejmelka made 26 saves for the Coyotes.

Toronto had a 5-4 edge in shots on goal in the first period.

Nick Bjugstad won the battle for possession behind the Toronto goal and worked the puck to Fischer, who knocked it in at 8:30 of the second period.

The Maple Leafs had their third power play of the game during the second period and did not have a shot on goal. They did not have a shot on goal in their two-man advantage situations in the first period, either.

Each team had 13 shots on goal after two periods.
