Avalanche 3, Maple Leafs 2 (OT)
David Jones scored 1:11 into overtime as the visiting Colorado Avalanche edged the previously unbeaten Maple Leafs 3-2 on Monday.
Kyle Quincey set up the winning goal with a long shot from the point that deflected right to Jones, who skated in unchecked and swept the puck past Toronto netminder James Reimer.
The win gave the Avalanche their first five-game road winning streak since 2002 while halting the Maple Leafs' season-opening three-game winning streak.
Colorado led 2-1 after 40 minutes and had limited Toronto's scoring chances in the third period until the Maple Leafs evened things at 15:17. Nikolai Kulemin kept the puck in at the blue line before charging to the net and backhanding a rebound of a Dion Phaneuf shot past Colorado goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere, who prevailed in his first game against his former team.
After the teams played a scoreless first period with few quality scoring chances, Toronto needed only 19 seconds to open the scoring in the second. Phil Kessel snapped a wrist shot past Giguere from the slot for his sixth goal in the last three games.
Colorado responded just over three minutes later as Daniel Winnik gathered a nifty drop pass from Ryan O'Reilly and wristed a shot that fooled Reimer. It was the first second-period goal the Leafs have allowed this season.
The Avalanche went in front on a power play at 14:14 of the second when Milan Hejduk flicked a wrist shot from the top of the left circle that slipped between Reimer's glove arm and his body.
