Maple Leafs 4, Sharks 2
Defenseman Carl Gunnarsson scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and rookie James Reimer made 40 saves to lead the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs a 4-2 comeback victory over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.
Clarke MacArthur scored twice and Phil Kessel also tallied for the Maple Leafs, who have won four straight games. Coach Ron Wilson recorded his 600th NHL win.
Toronto trailed, 1-0, heading into the third period, but Kessel tied the game when he cut across the middle and waited until Antti Niemi went down before sliding in his 19th of the season and fifth in four games at the 3:27 mark.
MacArthur gave Toronto a 2-1 lead with a power play goal at 7:30, but Patrick Marleau answered with his second of the night just 65 seconds later to tie it.
Gunnarsson deflected Dion Phaneuf's point shot for his second goal of the season with 9:50 remaining and MacArthur added an empty-net goal with 39 seconds to play.
Marleau opened the scoring with his 16th goal of the season 10:12 into the first period from Joe Thornton and Jason Demers.
Niemi made 22 saves.
