Toronto @ Florida 4-6 - Right wing Brad Boyes scored the game-winning goal with a little more than three minutes left to cap the comeback. Defensemen Dmitry Kulikov and Willie Mitchell scored 7:24 apart in the third to tie the game 4-4. After a scoreless first period, Toronto and Florida combined for six goals in the second, and the Maple Leafs took a 4-2 lead into the second intermission.
But in the third period, the Maple Leafs couldn't keep the Panthers out of their zone, and Florida created more traffic in front of Toronto goaltender James Reimer. Toronto took advantage of some sloppy defensive play by Florida to rack up four goals in the second period, three of which came in a span of 4:43.
Toronto right wing Richard Panik opened the scoring at 6:39 of the second. He grabbed the puck off the boards near the Maple Leafs bench, skated deep into the Panthers zone and beat Luongo short side for his seventh goal. Huberdeau tied the game with his fourth goal 1:45 later. Seconds after Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad's shot from the point hit the post, Huberdeau pounced on a turnover in the Maple Leafs zone, then came in alone on Reimer and sent a high wrist shot over the Toronto goalie's right shoulder. Hayes gave Florida the 2-1 lead less than two minutes later. He scored his 10th goal after taking a pass on a 3-on-2 from left wing Sean Bergenheim. With 5:44 left in the second period, Toronto defenseman Roman Polak took a long pass from right wing Joffrey Lupul and put a wrist shot past Luongo, who was sliding to his right, for his fourth goal. Lupul's assist was his 400th career point. Left wing James van Riemsdyk gave the Maple Leafs the 3-2 lead with 2:30 left in the second period on a power play. Center Tyler Bozak put the puck in front of the Panthers net, where van Riemsdyk got his stick on it and shot it over Luongo's extended right leg for his 16th goal. Toronto center Nazem Kadri put the Maple Leafs up 4-2 with 1:01 left in the second period. Lupul came streaking down the left wing and put the puck in front of the Florida net. Kadri came straight in and beat Luongo glove side for his 11th goal. Kulikov scored his first goal of the season on a one-timer at 2:45 of the third period to cut the lead to 4-3. He was left alone at the point with a lot of space. Mitchell tied it with 9:51 left in the third on a slap shot from the left point. It was his second goal. Boyes put Florida ahead 5-4 on a tip-in at 16:45 for his sixth goal, and Upshall scored an empty-net goal with 1:25 left. Toronto right wing Carter Ashton returned to the lineup after serving a 20-game suspension for a positive test for performance-enhancing drugs. Ashton was sent down to the Marlies on Dec. 19 on a conditioning assignment before being recalled Saturday.
Vancouver @ Anaheim 1-2 OT - Cam Fowler put in a rebound at 2:42 of overtime after Vancouver goalie Ryan Miller kicked out the puck on Devante Smith-Pelly's redirect attempt off a pass from Ryan Getzlaf. Sucks defenseman Francois Beauchemin's first goal this season at 6:52 of the third tied the game 1-1. Getzlaf won a faceoff against Bo Horvat cleanly to Beauchemin, who was playing his second game since returning after missing nearly a month with a broken finger. Canucks defenseman Yannick Weber scored his third goal on a long, seeing-eye wrist shot from the right side that found the corner of the net 2:04 into the second period. Vancouver dumped the puck in, and Jannik Hansen threw it back out to Weber, who has two goals in the past three games. Andrew Cogliano took a no-look pass from Jakob Silfverberg and hit the crossbar just before the horn. Cogliano also hit the post with about two minutes left in regulation. Vancouver's missed golden chance came when Daniel Sedin lost the puck on a breakaway in overtime.
