William Nylander had two assists and Morgan Rielly scored the go-ahead goal to give the Maple Leafs a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.
The assists were the first points of the season for Nylander, who missed the first 28 games before signing a six-year deal worth $41.7 million.
The Maple Leafs won for the third time in four road games.
They dominated the first period but only had a goal from Tyler Ennis to show for it.
Patrick Marleau and John Tavares also scored for Toronto.
The Leafs play the NHL's top team, the Lightning Thursday night in Tampa Bay.
