TORONTO — Through nine games this season, Brock McGinn had very little to show for his efforts. Just one goal and plenty of frustration.
It's been a different story for McGinn of late, especially after he scored the go-ahead goal Friday to lift the Penguins to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena, Pittsburgh's second consecutive win following a seven-game losing streak.
With the teams tied at 2 after 40 minutes, Danton Heinen created a turnover, chased down the puck and fed McGinn in the left circle. That's when McGinn ripped a shot that bounced off Maple Leafs goaltender Erik Kallgren to push the Penguins ahead for good.
