Mike Craig’s fluke goal 1:31 into overtime gave the Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-3 victory Friday night over the winless, visiting Calgary Flames.

With the Calgary goaltender down and out of his crease during a scramble, Benoit Hogue shot towards the net. Craig took a swing at the puck, which struck his leg and bounced over the line.
