John Tavares registered his 11th career hat trick and added an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs snapped a four-game slide with a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
Auston Matthews, with a goal and an assist, and Zach Aston-Reese also scored for Toronto , while Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly had two assists each. Ilya Samsonov made 23 saves.
The pressure on under-fire head coach Sheldon Keefe ratcheted up with every dropped point through the first 10 games of the schedule, including losses to the Montreal Canadiens and Arizona Coyotes - teams that finished 32nd and 31st, respectively, in last season's overall standings. Sandstrom, who was looking for his first career NHL victory in his eighth appearance with Carter Hart getting a rest, held the fort on two early Toronto power plays, but Matthews slotted home his own rebound from in close for his fourth on another man advantage at 16:40.
Samsonov was forced to make a desperation stop on Konecny during a Philadelphia man advantage later in the period. Scott Laughton then hit the visitors' second post on an odd-man rush. Toronto's captain then completed his hat trick on a power play with 5:37 left in regulation after Sandstrom lost a skate blade and was out of position.
