The Toronto Maple Leafs have not been entirely pleased with their play of late. They have, however, been pleased with the results. The Maple Leafs look for their first four-game win streak of the season tonight when they host Mike Babcocks Detroit Red Wings in the teams fifth and final meeting this season. James Reimer made 41 saves and Phil Kessel scored his fourth goal in five games to lead Toronto to a 2-1 shootout win at Detroit on Wednesday, despite being outshot 42-19. Theres lots of different recipes to win, James van Riemsdyk said. Its not just a black and white game where you outshoot the other team and automatically win. Thats not how this game works. There are many other factors - goaltending, goal scoring, power play, penalty kill - different things where youve got to find a way to win games. Kessels ability to find the net may be one of those factors, and his current trend of production bodes well for the Maple Leafs (16-9-3) moving forward. Toronto is 10-2-1 this season when Kessel scores. We need a couple bounces here or there, but were winning. Thats the most important, Kessel said. Were working hard. Were doing the little things right. Reimer, who had not played since Nov. 18 before Wednesday, will sit again Saturday in favour of Jonathan Bernier, who is 6-1-1 with a 2.50 goals-against average in his last eight starts. He is 1-0-1 with a 0.96 GAA in two this season against Detroit. Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov will not be in the lineup, missing his sixth straight game with a concussion. The Maple Leafs have not won four straight since a six-game streak Jan. 12-21. Detroit (17-6-7) enters this contest coming off a second consecutive shootout loss, 3-2 to Florida on Friday. The Red Wings have picked up eight of a possible 10 points in their last five games (3-0-2). Right now, when we get to the shootout were not a confident group so weve just got to keep working on it, coach Babcock said. No sense hanging our heads or getting disappointed. Jimmy Howard made 24 saves through overtime before falling to 0-5 in shootouts this season. Howard, though, is 5-1-2 with a 2.34 GAA in his last eight starts. After going scoreless on the power play in the previous three contests, the Red Wings tallied twice with the man advantage Friday. They are 11 for 38 on the power play (28.9 percent) over the past 10 games. Theyre good, Kessel said of the Red Wings. You watch them play, they skate, they work, they got good defense and they got a good goaltender. Every night you play them, its a tough game. Detroit took the first two meetings against Toronto this season to stretch its win streak in the series to four before the Maple Leafs claimed a 4-1 victory at home on Nov. 22. Henrik Zetterberg has six points in the season series, including a four-assist performance in Detroits 4-1 win at Air Canada Centre on Oct. 17. He has 16 points in 13 career games against the Maple Leafs.

"Well over 50 (per cent)," coach Claude Noel said Tuesday after practice, where the Jets were looking at ways to cut down the scoring chances theyve been giving away. . The thinking at the time was Clowney could have already been promised he would be selected first overall by the Houston Texans, therefore negating any need to meet with any other teams. The plot took another twist this week.BELLEVILLE, Ont. -- Erik Bradford picked up two assists in regulation, then scored the overtime winner to lead the Ottawa 67s over the Belleville Bulls 4-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday night. Travis Konecny scored a goal and assisted on two others, Brendan Bell had a goal and an assist, and Dante Salituro also scored for Ottawa (19-30-4), whicch was outshot 38-22.dddddddddddd. Remi Elie and Stephen Harper had a goal and an assist each for Belleville (15-33-4) and Chad Heffernan also scored as the Bulls lost for the seventh time in 10 games. Ottawas Philippe Trudeau made 35 saves in his 18th win of the season. Bulls goalie Charlie Graham turned aside 18 shots in the losing effort. ' ' ' |
