"I thought both times we played Toronto, we brought our A-games both times," Oilers forward Pat Maroon said. "I'd say out of six periods, we won five. It's one of those things, we can't hang our heads. We have to find ways to bounce back against Columbus (on Tuesday).
"I thought the last two games, we did some really good things. This is a game I feel like we should have had it. We threw everything and the kitchen sink at them. Their goalie just made some good saves."
Edmonton had a 5-on-3 power play for two minutes at 17:38 of the second period when Mitchell Marner was called for tripping and Roman Polak for cross-checking, but failed to score.
"Anytime you kill off a two minute 5-on-3, you get a momentum boost," Hyman said. "Leo (Komarov), Ronnie (Hainsey) and (Nikita) Zaitsev were out there for almost two minutes. They were huge for us."
Hyman scored the only goal of the game when William Nylander carried the puck into the zone on the left wing and passed to Jake Gardiner, who one-timed a shot from the blue line that Hyman redirected between Brossoit's pads.
"We wanted to keep the gas on them, but it ended up being a 1-0 game," Hyman said. "McElhinney played unbelievable and was a big reason we won."
The Maple Leafs had a 5-on-3 power play for 18 seconds at 10:11 of the second period when Zack Kassian was called for hooking but failed to score.
