Leafs down Avalanche to clinch sixth straight win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 23 - 01 - 2014

TORONTO — Phil Kessel scored two goals, James van Riemsdyk had a goal and an assist, and the surging Toronto Maple Leafs held off the Colorado Avalanche for their sixth straight win Tuesday.
Nazem Kadri also scored, and goaltender James Reimer had 35 saves for Toronto (27-20-5).
The Maple Leafs have won six in a row for the first time since Dec. 23 2005 to Jan. 2 2006. Center Nathan MacKinnon had two goals for Colorado (31-13-5), who had their four-game winning streak snapped.
Devils 7, Blues 1: The New Jersey Devils blitzed the St. Louis Blues for three first-period goals and never looked back in a lopsided victory.
Because of brutal weather conditions that hit most of the northeast throughout the day, only about 2,000 fans were in attendance.
New Jersey (21-19-11) had seven different goal-scorers, while St. Louis (33-11-5) goaltender Brian Elliott was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots.
Blue Jackets 5, Kings 3: R.J. Umberger scored two goals, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat Los Angeles to set a franchise record with their seventh straight win.
Ryan Johansen, Artem Anisimov and Nathan Horton also scored for Columbus (25-20-4), who have not lost since Jan. 4 in St. Louis.
The Kings (29-16-6) have lost three in a row. Jeff Carter scored his 20th goal of the season for Los Angeles to tie the game 2-2 in the second but the Blue Jackets ran off three straight scores to pull away.
Stars 4, Wild 0: After winning just once in their first 10 games of January, the Dallas Stars delivered their best effort of 2014, scoring twice on the power play in a win over the Minnesota Wild.
Senators 2, Capitals 0: The Ottawa Senators received goals from centers Kyle Turris and Jason Spezza and a 34-save effort from goaltender Craig Anderson in a win over the Capitals.
Panthers 4, Sabres 3: Sean Bergenheim and Ed Jovanovski scored late in the first period as the Florida Panthers beat the Buffalo Sabres.
Islanders 5, Rangers 3: Thomas Vanek's tie-breaking goal with 4:38 left in regulation powered the New York Islanders to a win over the New York Rangers.
Jets 3, Ducks 2: Evander Kane's second-period goal was the difference as the Winnipeg Jets became the first club to defeat the Anaheim Ducks in regulation at home.
Canucks 2, Oilers 1: The Vancouver Canucks, playing without their suspended coach and their injured captain, edged the Edmonton Oilers in a win. — Agencies
