TORONTO (AP) The Toronto Maple Leafs put together the perfect response to a big rally by the Tampa Bay Lightning.They got right back to work.William Nylander had two goals and an assist and James van Riemsdyk scored a tiebreaking goal in the third period [url=http://www.flamesshoponline.com/authentic-johnny-gaudreau-jersey]Johnny Gaudreau Jersey Kids[/url] , sending streaking Toronto to a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay on Monday night.”We’ve found a rhythm and this is what we want to stick to,” Nylander said.The Maple Leafs jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but the Lightning tied the game on goals by Nikita Kucherov and Yanni Gourde 20 seconds apart in the third. Van Riemsdyk then put Toronto in front again when his shot just squeezed past Andrei Vasilevskiy’s pad at 4:37.”Everybody kind of just took a deep breath and went back to playing how we did in the first two periods,” said Auston Matthews, who picked up three assists. ”(We) took care of the puck a little more, (we) just got in deep and obviously a big goal by James there.”Jake Gardiner also scored for the Leafs (34-19-5), who extended their home win streak to five with their eighth win in nine games overall. Frederik Andersen made 28 saves in his 28th win of the season.Toronto also pulled within six points of Eastern Conference-leading Tampa Bay for the top spot in the Atlantic Division.Alex Killorn also scored for Tampa Bay (38-15-3), and Vasilevskiy made 19 saves.”We played well enough to get points out of this one, that’s probably a little discouraging,” Lightning coach John Cooper said. ”I thought their goaltender got them points.”Toronto jumped in front 11:55 into the first on Nylander’s one-timer off a pass from Matthews. It was Nylander’s 13th goal of the season.Nylander scored again 3:08 into the second, beating Vasilevskiy on the blocker side. Nylander then picked up an assist when Gardiner’s wrist shot from inside the blue line went through Vasilevskiy’s legs [url=http://www.kingsproshop.com/authentic-hats]Los Angeles Kings Hats Womens[/url] , making it 3-0 with 8 1/2 minutes left in the period.NOTES: Toronto C Patrick Marleau skated in his 1,551st regular-season game, passing Alex Delvecchio for sole possession of 13th place on the NHL’s games played list.UP NEXTLightning: Visit Buffalo on Tuesday night.Maple Leafs: Host Columbus on Wednesday night. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jonathan Quick has delivered plenty of brilliant goaltending performances for the Los Angeles Kings, and Alec Martinez wasn’t going to let the latest masterpiece go for naught.Martinez scored with 2:13 left, Quick stopped 34 shots for his 50th career shutout and the Kings defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 2-0 on Sunday night.“If anything, you wanted to do it for Quickie because Jonathan Quick was simply outstanding,” Martinez said. “I’ve seen that guy play a lot of really good hockey, and that game was certainly up there. If for nothing else, do it for him.”Martinez tipped Jake Muzzin’s pass past goalie Petr Mrazek to help the Kings end a two-game skid. Kyle Clifford added an empty-net goal at 19:07 of the third period.It was the first win of the season for Quick, who missed 18 games because of two different lower-body injuries. Quick became the 30th goalie in NHL history with 50 shutouts and he leads all American-born goaltenders in that category.Quick’s excellence was on display when Los Angeles had to kill off 1:30 of 5-on-3 play in the third period, as he made saves on shots by Jordan Staal and Sebastian Aho.Quick also got help from a penalty kill that had allowed 13 power-play goals in the previous 10 games.“The PK unit did a great job tonight [url=http://www.flamesshoponline.com/authentic-mark-giordano-jersey]Womens Mark Giordano Jersey[/url] , especially on the 5-on-3,” said Quick, who tied Chris Osgood for 29th place in career shutouts. “It takes a lot of courage blocking shots like those guys were doing. We got some clears on the 5-on-3, which was huge because it releases the pressure a little bit.”Mrazek made 33 saves for the Hurricanes, who earned at least one point in five of their previous six games.It was the first start for Mrazek since Nov. 2 because of a lower-body injury.“He kept us in there, made some big saves,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “The two goalies were kind of going back and forth. We needed someone to make a play, put it in the net, and we’re not getting that right now.”Mrazek did his best to give Carolina a chance until the Kings got a late offensive zone faceoff. Anze Kopitar won the draw against Lucas Wallmark, and Muzzin was able to get the puck to Martinez for his second goal of the season.Mrazek turned aside a one-timer by Jeff Carter during an early power play and denied Tyler Toffoli on a breakaway midway through the first period.The Kings continued to pile on the pressure in the second without finding a way to beat Mrazek. The Hurricanes had to kill three penalties during the period, with Mrazek able to save a dangerous tipped shot by Dustin Brown.Even with Mrazek making those saves [url=http://www.flamesshoponline.com/authentic-matthew-tkachuk-jersey]Youth Matthew Tkachuk Jersey[/url] , the Hurricanes could not capitalize on their own chances against Quick. Wallmark had a look at an open net in the final 10 seconds of the first period but put his shot low into Quick’s pads as he scrambled back into position, and Quick was able to smother a backhand by Brock McGinn in the third just more than a minute before Martinez finally scored.“End of the day, unfortunately, we took a breath at the end and it cost us,” Brind’Amour said. “We’ve got to learn. We’re a young group, and young guys making those mistakes, I’ve got to do a better job on just keep hammering home these points because we can’t keep doing this.”NOTES: Kings C Adrian Kempe did not play because of an upper-body injury and is day to day. Los Angeles used 11 forwards and seven defensemen. … The Kings claimed forward Nikita Scherbak off waivers from Montreal. Scherbak, a first-round draft pick in 2014, has five goals and two assists in 29 career games.UP NEXTHurricanes: Visit the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday.Kings: Host the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday.
