The Maple Leafs had the better of the play for the first half of the first period before Lafreniere gave New York a 1-0 lead at 11:44.
After grabbing a loose puck from a rebound, Lafreniere scored his third goal of the season from the slot with a 23-foot wrist shot. The rebound resulted from Vincent Trocheck's deflection of Victor Mancini's shot.
William Nylander missed a chance to tie the game late in the first period after he broke in alone.
Kreider tapped in a pass from the left circle by Zibanejad for his fourth goal of the season at 9:08 of the second period. Smith also earned an assist as New York took advantage of a six-on-five situation on a delayed penalty against Toronto.
Toronto defenseman Chris Tanev went to the dressing room late in the second period after stopping a shot, but he returned to action.
Matthews scored his second goal of the season at 3:40 of the third period to halve the Maple Leafs' deficit. He worked the puck from the end boards and shot from 11 feet on the wraparound. Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Matthew Knies earned assists.
Shesterkin made a big save on Nylander late in the third period.
Kreider scored into an empty net at 19:00 of the third, his fifth goal of the season. Panarin also scored into an empty net, his sixth goal of the campaign, at 19:46.
Toronto's Max Pacioretty was a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game and defenseman Timothy Liljegren sat for the fourth time in the team's five games.
