Avs beat Maple Leafs in shootout in Toronto after riveting test of defenses

TORONTO — A few of the newest relics in the Hockey Hall of Fame include a jersey worn by Nathan MacKinnon in the 2022 Stanley Cup-clinching game, a prestigious trophy with a spot reserved for Cale Makar’s engraved name and a burgundy-bejeweled ring.

The reminders of Colorado’s accomplishment last season are resting behind glass two blocks away from Scotiabank Arena, where this season’s Avs encountered one of their last major tests of the 2022-23 regular season Wednesday. If they hope to repeat, there’s a chance they’ll have to go through Toronto again after a captivating 2-1 shootout win in which Alexandar Georgiev saved all three shots.

Nathan MacKinnon scored the only shootout goal, going five-hole.
