Alex Chiasson replied for the Oilers (18-13-4), who have now lost four in a row.

Toronto started the scoring five minutes into the opening period as Pierre Engvall made a nice feed through traffic from behind the net to Kerfoot, who blasted a shot up high past Oilers goalie Mikko Koskinen, who was playing without his stick.

Maple Leafs defenceman Tyson Barrie left the game later in the period after blocking a shot and did not return.
