Goals in back-to-back games Stecher scored a goal in Saturday's 7-2 win or loss against Edmonton.

Impact Stecher now has a goal in each of his last two games; this one came against his former squad. The Leafs plucked the defender off the waiver wire last season after the Oilers tried to move him to the AHL. Stecher isn't really a fantasy guy -- his best category is typically blocks. He had 79 in 64 games last season and has 15 so far this year. But he's having a sweet little run right now.

Impact It came in his 12th game of the season. Stecher took a pass on a delayed penalty and went high over Dylan Garand's glove with 28 seconds left in the game to seal the win for the Maple Leafs. Stecher was claimed off waivers by Toronto from Edmonton on Nov. 15, 2025. It was his third game-winning goal (636 games).

Impact He set up Colton Sissons for the Leafs only goal. It was Stecher's first point of the season (nine games). He has 11 blocks, seven assists and six shots so far. The blocks put Stecher on pace his first triple-digit total in that category if he stays healthy.

Inks two-year deal Stecher penned a two-year, $2.7 million contract with Toronto on Monday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

Impact Stecher played in 58 regular-season games for the Maple Leafs last year after being plucked off waivers from the Oilers, producing three goals and 11 assists to go with 76 blocked shots and 28 hits. With Brandon Carlo shipped off to St. Louis, the 32-year-old Stecher should see more opportunities, though he's never been much of a power-play contributor.

Ends slump Monday Stecher notched an assist in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Stars.

Impact Stecher ended his 10-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old defenseman has played more often than not lately, but that hasn't led to much production anywhere. He's at 14 points, 62 shots on net, 30 hits, 79 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 63 appearances between the Maple Leafs and the Oilers this season.

Quiet on offense Stecher was held off the scoresheet for an eighth straight game in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Stecher's playing time should stabilize while Oliver Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is out. The part-time role likely isn't helping Stecher get his offense on track. The 31-year-old blueliner has earned 13 points over 54 outings this season, but only three of those points have come in his last 18 games. He's added 58 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-7 rating while mainly working in a bottom-four role.
