UNDATED (AP) — Mitch Marner and the Toronto Maple Leafs remain red hot.

Marner’s second goal of the night was the game-winner as the Leafs outlasted the Hurricanes, 4-3. He also tied the game with 5:48 remaining in regulation, stretching his goal streak to eight games.

Marner has 10 goals during the streak after netting just six his first 25 games this season.

Austin Matthews netted his 30th and 31st goals of the season 3:21 apart in the second period to put Toronto ahead, but Carolina regained the lead on third-period tallies by Tony DeAngelo and Derek Stepan.
