"Our guys stuck with it, made some key plays, clutch plays at key times," Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said. "It was a really great way to finish our road trip (3-2-0)."
Bunting tied it 3-3 at 15:10, shooting into an open net off a backhand pass from David Kampf, who forced Vitek Vanecek to overcommit.
Matthews then gave Toronto a 4-3 lead at 17:07 with a power-play goal, receiving a pass from William Nylander and scoring low glove side. Bunting lifted his left leg to allow the puck to get to Matthews at the right hash marks.
"I think it kind of gave me a little bit more space to get a shot off," Matthews said. "It was just really a nice heads-up play by [Bunting], and a beautiful pass by 'Willie' just to read the pressure and find me there in the slot."
Bunting said, "I heard [Matthews] calling for it, and clearly he was wide open, so I didn't want to get in the way of that, and he made that count."
