WASHINGTON — Mitch Marner tied it in the final minute, John Tavares scored the overtime winner and the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied from a two-goal third-period deficit to beat the Washington Capitals 4-3. William Nylander sparked the comeback with his goal with 4:09 left and set up Marner's 6-on-4 power play goal with 47.8 seconds left in regulation with goaltender Joseph Woll pulled for an extra attacker and Washington's Nic Dowd in the penalty box. Nylander's heroics came 24 hours after his turnover on the first shift put the Leafs on track to a dud of a shutout loss at home.
