CALGARY, Alberta (AP) Calle Jarnkrok broke a tie at 2:20 of the third period and Joseph Woll made 25 saves in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.

After Jacob Markstrom stopped Morgan Rielly on a breakaway, Jarnkrok was able to score off the rebound as the net came off its moorings.

Mitch Marner tied it for Toronto at 7:36 of the second period, weaving through the slot and beating Markstrom with a wrister past the glove.

ā€œTried to kind of get going downhill with speed, make a move, make another move,ā€ Marner said.

Calgaryā€™s Nazem Kadri appeared to score two minutes after Marnerā€™s goal, with Marner serving a high-sticking minor. But the goal was successfully challenged as offside by Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe.

Woll made his third NHL appearance of the season and seventh overall. The 24-year-old former Boston College goalie is 14-1-0 this season for the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League.

Fourth in the Eastern Conference and second behind NHL-leading Boston in the Atlantic Division, Toronto rebounded from a 5-2 loss Tuesday night in Edmonton to win for the fourth time in five games.

Defensemen Luke Schenn and Erik Gustafsson played for Toronto following trades. Schenn - in his second stint with Toronto - came over in a deal with Vancouver, and the Maple Leafs got Gustafsson from Washington. Toronto has acquired half-dozen players in trades since Feb. 17 ahead of the trade deadline Friday.

ā€œWeā€™re excited about the guys we brought in,ā€ Marner said. ā€œSome big men who want to help this team achieve great things. It was great tonight that everyone dug in. Just needed a little from everyone and everyone gave it.ā€

Blake Coleman scored on a short-handed breakaway for Calgary at 2:32 of the first period. Markstrom stopped 32 shots.

ā€œI thought he was our best player,ā€ Flames coach Darryl Sutter said about Markstrom.

The Flames are ninth in the Western Conference and fifth in the Pacific Division. They are 3-4-3 in their last 10.

ā€œTough loss. Close again, but itā€™s been this way too many times,ā€ Markstrom said. ā€œItā€™s frustrating to not get away with any points.ā€
