TORONTO (AP) — There have been times this season when the Maple Leafs felt they deserved a better fate on home ice.That wasn’t the case Tuesday night.Frederik Andersen made 36 saves to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Vegas Golden Knights 3-1.The visitors had 82 shot attempts compared to the Leafs’ 40 Womens Tyler Seguin Jersey , including a 40-13 edge in a second period where Toronto barely touched the puck.“We didn’t get on the forecheck,” Leafs forward Mitch Marner said. “Freddie Andersen has been unbelievable for us every single game. … He’s the reason we stole one tonight.”Connor Brown, Marner and Nazem Kadri scored for Toronto (10-5-0), which came in just 3-5-0 at Scotiabank Arena compared to a perfect 6-0-0 on the road.“We got fooling around with the puck and they showed us how fast they were,” said Toronto coach Mike Babcock, whose team registered a season-low 21 shots. “We were lucky to get out of the second.”Cody Eakin scored for Vegas (6-8-1), which got 18 stops from Marc-Andre Fleury.“A lot was real good,” Knights head coach Gerard Gallant said. “I liked the way we came in here and played against a real good Toronto team.”Despite the lopsided shot clock, Andersen credited his teammates with getting him clear looks at the majority of the attempts on goal.“We’re keeping a little bit more to the outside,” Andersen said. “That makes my job easier.”The Knights were by far the better team through two periods and had a couple of opportunities to tie it early in the third down 2-1 only to have Andersen shut the door.Patrick Marleau nearly made it 3-1 for Toronto moments later off a pass from Kasperi Kapanen on a 2-on-1 rush, but the veteran flubbed his shot wide.The Knights got forward Max Pacioretty back from an upper-body injury but are still without center Paul Stastny. They lost another forward when Erik Haula went down with an apparent right leg injury five minutes into the third.Haula, who collided with Marleau along the boards http://www.coyotesproshop.com/authentic-oliver-ekman-larsson-jersey , stayed down for a few minutes as he was attended to by trainers from both teams before being stretchered off.The Knights’ power play, which came in ranked 28th, got a chance with under nine minutes left in regulation when Jake Gardiner went off for slashing, but it was unable to score.Fleury made nice stops on Marner and John Tavares before Andersen stopped Rielly Smith’s effort from the goal line with his arm and body with 2:33 left.Vegas kept its foot on the gas with Fleury on the bench for an extra attacker, but couldn’t get much in the way of pressure before Kadri scored his fourth into an empty net with 34.1 seconds left.“It’s very frustrating,” Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore said. “We’re starting to play more of our style and we’re starting to play a better game, but we’re not burying those chances.”NOTES: Brown’s only other goal this season was into an empty net. … Stastny (lower-body injury) is expected to be out another month. UP NEXTGolden Knights: Pacioretty returns to Montreal for the first time in a game Saturday night.Maple Leafs: Visits Ottawa on Thursday night. VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Some rest is doing wonders for Sidney Crosby.The Pittsburgh captain has three goals in his past two games as the Penguins prepare to visit the injury-riddled Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The goals came after the Penguins enjoyed some rest for a few days in the scenic Rocky Mountain town of Banff, Alta., before visiting Edmonton and Calgary.“It was good that we got out here (to Western Canada) fairly early to get our feet under us, time change and all that stuff,” Crosby told reporters. “Banff was a great trip http://www.bruinsshoponline.com/authentic-anders-bjork-jersey , it’s beautiful there and we had some good practices.Article continues below ...“It was good we didn’t have to deal with back-to-backs. Usually you’re dealing with a back-to-back at some point out here. We get to play every second day and get some rhythm.”Crosby scored two goals Tuesday in Edmonton, where he outperformed two-time defending NHL scoring champion Connor McDavid, and notched another marker in Calgary on Thursday as the Penguins shellacked the Flames 9-1. Before this week, Crosby had gone the first six games of the season without a goal for the first time in his career.Two of his goals have come on seemingly impossible plays featuring backhands.“He’s one of the best players not just shooting with his backhand, but playing on his backhand,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan told reporters.Crosby’s surge has helped the Penguins post three straight wins since their last loss, which came at home to the Canucks on October 16. But the Pens will face a distinctly different Vancouver team Saturday.The Canucks are expected to be without injured defensemen Alex Edler (knee) and Chris Tanev (hip) as well as winger Sven Baetschi, one of their most offensively gifted forwards. Rookie center Elias Pettersson, who took the NHL by storm before suffering a concussion, and winger Brock Boeser, the club’s leading scorer last season, are questionable as they continue to recover from their health woes. All five players were missing from Thursday’s 4-1 road loss to Arizona.With Baertschi http://www.bruinsshoponline.com/authentic-brad-marchand-jersey , Pettersson and Boeser hurting, other Canucks are hoping to pick up the offensive slack. Vancouver players lamented their scoring struggles against the Coyotes.Lou Eriksson, who earns $6 million per season but has not scored since February, hopes to do better after being stopped on a nice setup from Bo Horvat on a two-on-one Thursday.“It’s too bad because I can’t find a way to score a goal right now,” Eriksson told Sportsnet.ca. “Of course, it’s frustrating. You always want to score goals and right now they’re not coming.”Meanwhile, fellow forward Nikolay Goldobin is trying to stay positive after going nine games without a point.I’m going to stick with it, I guess,” he told Sportsnet. “Luck will come.”The Canucks are also looking to improve defensively after they allowed the Coyotes to break open a 1-1 tie with three unanswered goals in the third period.Defenseman Derrick Pouliot hopes to do better after his blatant giveaway in the Canucks end led to the winning goal.“Past couple of games haven’t been great,” he told Sportsnet.ca. “It’s not a secret; I’m not going to hide from that. You’ve got to find a way to… turn things around.”The Canucks will need to turn things around quickly, because it’s hard to tell what Crosby — not to mention the Penguins’ strong supporting cast — will do next.
